The Dawtas sculpture series were orignally created in 2004 with additional versions created in 2021. These large deconstructed burlap structures reference colonial dress as well as the built environment and consider social inequity and class divisions—suggestive of both clothing as well as vernacular architecture. They are tied to notions of female identity in the Caribbean and class structure. In performance the Dawtas are used as a sculptural element, considering the architecture of space, ritual in dance and issues of gender and identity, cultural identity, spiritualism, and mysticism through dance, performance, sound, and movement.
