galleryyuhself.tumblr.com
Over the last few weeks I have been preparing a new Tumblr...where do I find the time?! Right? I have wanted to create a booklet on the subject for over ten years now, so I won't pat myself on the back just yet.
This new site is my way of amassing information in an archive format so that when the project really begins. I will not have to go all over the place for what I need.
I had started another blog, galleryyuhself.blogspot.com when I was asked to do an essay and presentation at The University of the West Indies.

galleryyuhself.tumblr.com already is showing me a few things...first of all, I am collecting everything that is available online. In doing this I am relying on memory and on hunches as I explore several approaches.
I am organising the site into islands, with an emphasis on the people, the companies and eventually the created works that produce a certain 'look'.
I have already seen that here in the Caribbean, we are falling into an expected pull and tug of adopting American culture, masked as our own. There is a cliche and a tendency to just go with what is believed to be a Caribbean aesthetic.
Galleryyuhself.blogspot.com shall continue to be the slow runner that moves alongside the flashier, more available site. But it shall be the site where opinion shall be explored to a greater extent, and perhaps, occasionally represented on the Tumblr as well.
