Here are a few of the duct tape paintings I did for my recent solo exhibition. The description is not cryptic, I used duct tape in the pieces along with spray paint and oil paint to give a mixed media (and mixed technique) approach to my subjects. I used a burner to melt designs into the duct tape, treating it as paint with an almost sgraffito technique. Most of these images were references I had from Carriacou during carnival and the Maroon Festival.
