Studio Secrets

Embah

Photos by Paul Murphy

Describe the things and images that you have around you in your studio and how they influence or inform your work.

Carnival images always influence my work because they help me to define the distance between two images that are relating to each other

Describe your working methods and processes

To me there are no working methods and processes - the treatment occurs as required by the specific work

Which single item in your studio is most important to your work?

My guitar

Which artist/s most influence your work and which recent show has been inspirational?

Black Stalin (the calypsonian, 4 x kaiso king). Cricket is inspirational, an ongoing show.

Is your studio a refuge or a place of torture?

My studio is a separate world a place where I can define who I am and what I want to be without conflict.

Embah's work can be seen at White Columns, New York later this year
