Xayvier Haughton

Xayvier Haughton is interested in African spirituality and aesthetic developments, during and after the Middle Passage. By enlisting classical painting techniques, Haughton creates icon imagery combined with Voodoo and Obeah-inspired votives and objects. Haughton then uses symbols to create architectural forms, such as altars and shelves consisting of amalgamations of tones and textures, as a response to the nuances of Afro-Caribbean spiritual and socio-political spaces.
