‘Polka dot’ pendant from the ‘There is Something in the Water’ (2019) collection that addressed different aspects of the earth’s water that I love and ones that cause me worry. This pendant was inspired by the oil in oil spills. The necklace sits inside the frame in the back of the painting and is not visible on the easel or if the painting is on the wall. Shown on easel with its matching brooch and on hand-painted organic cotton fabric. Small paintings that can adorn a variety of spaces at home or office.

‘Carite after the La Brea Oil Spill in 2013.’ Kavir Mootoo, 2014. Linocut print on 18″x24″ acid-free paper. (SOLD)

In December 2013, a large oil spill off the coast of La Brea in Trinidad caused a massive kill of marine life and birds. I grew up eating fish, including carite, that was caught in these waters but I stopped after the spill as I wasn't sure about the health of the fish anymore. In this piece, I imagine a changing carite - its shape changed from long and linear to round, its tail falling off and its future as a 'super-predator' that will eat people, trees, houses and birds.

A T-shirt was also printed with this linoblock and is also shown, as well as the first-cut of the linoblock. The organic cotton, unisex medium T-shirt costs US$54 (TT$360) and the first-cut print on acid-free paper costs US$100 (TT$700). NOTE: This print is currently out of stock. However, the first-cut print and the Hand-printed and painted T-shirt are still available.

These pieces are offered as part of #artistsupportpledge which is a generous culture and dynamic economy in support of artists and makers.
