This is the work in progress for my newest coat of arms piece. I am part of a group project called
The Transplanted Project, which is a visual celebration of the West Indies culture here in New York City. There are a various visual artists involved in this project, each creating work based on a theme with a West Indian twist. My particular tale is of Mami Wata, the African water goddess, and she will be incorporated into the Trinidad and Tobago coat of arms. The project
blog has regular updates of the contributors' art in progress. Very cool.
