Bound Waters - Confluence is a duo exhibition that delves into Caribbean identity, celebrating its cultural richness while addressing its fragmented histories through storytelling and folklore. Bringing together the distinct yet interconnected practices of Jamaica based painter Richard Nattoo and UK-based interdisciplinary artist Roisin Jones, the show explores the enduring, evolving relationship between Jamaica and its diaspora. Using water both as a metaphor for connection and resilience, and as a medium, locally sourced from rivers, it is infused into the works with watercolours, ceramics, sculpture and mixed media pieces, creating works that carry place, spirit, and memory within them.
Through her sculptural and delicate metalwork, she reframes the entity as a woman—graceful, and rooted in the natural world, a figure of both vulnerability and wild, untamed power. In Spirited Away, Roisin Jones depicts a scene where two entities meet, exchanging a moment of stillness, shared wisdom, and respect, where borders dissolve and new narratives begin. Jones invites the viewer to step closer, to inhabit the quiet spaces of nature, and to witness the entity not as myth alone, but as memory, sensation, and presence. Her work creates moments of closeness—intimate altars to feminine strength and spiritual ecology. River Sisters and Lucky Sight, placed on either side of the alcove, frame golden doors reminiscent of the comb, inviting the viewer to open them and engage in an act of quiet interaction.
