My Story
Iesha -Denize is an artist fascinated by language and how as a tool it has been used to shape the world, she is particularly interested in the language of the arts as bridges of comprehension between cultures by translating human emotion. The combined power of text and image to continually create new possibilities of expression which act as markers for the future forms the basis of her own practise, since she was acutely aware that she lacked the language to respond to the loss of her father and the grief which accompanied.
Consequently, her Grande Visual Narrative signature style evolved in her practice of fine art as storytelling, bringing her back to the arts after a long absence in the process.
An artist as researcher exploring the use of arts to creatively address societal challenges, is how she views the world. More, specifically she is concerned with the ‘chronicling of journeying ‘through the concept of identity viewed through the eyes of a first generation Windrush child. Being part of the first generation of Windrush children, continues to inform her perspective and her work.
As a visual artist, she explores the impact and legacy of contemporary Caribbean human geography from the perspective of a first generation Windrush lived experience.
