Police an' Tief: Adele Todd

Police an' Tief - A series of thirty-two embroidery works on the theme of violence in Trinidad and Tobago. Can eight years of commitment to the topic of violence in boys as they grow to adulthood, culminating in the show Police an’Tief really change a nation? It is an acknowledgement and commentary on the state of crime in our island as captured trough the lens of crime scene photographers and the media. FROM THE ARTIST Statement My curiosity in using thread as an implement to create images of the challenges of living in Trinidad and Tobago, is at the fore of my practice. I have looked at domestic violence, nationhood and crime, and I have also used Performance to advance my vision. ABOUT ADELE http://adeletodd.wordpress.com/reading-on-adele-todd/
