‘RIVA MAID is a video installation which tells the story of a woman who was abducted by a mermaid in the village of Shrewsbury Logwood, Westmoreland. This piece of work is from an ongoing series of contemporary stories and oral histories I have been collecting from remote river communities across Jamaica. My work celebrates the quiet stories, myths and folklore that may otherwise become forgotten.’
