The Majician's Arrival (2023)
Using water from the Rio Grande River in Jamaica and Adom Waterfalls in Ghana, Richard Nattoo paints a celebration of ancestry, spirituality, majic and youth.
"The Majician's Arrival comes from my interest in spirituality and magical realism through a Caribbean lens. Taking inspiration from the sacred groves of India and Africa, together with the mangroves of the Caribbean, the ethereal quality of the piece is a celebration of Akan, Taino, and Hindu spirituality. In this work I create a space where all three worlds collide in a multilayered song of ancestry, spirituality, majic, and youth, where the inner child reconnects with an ancestor under the silk-cotton tree."
