Vivien Elizabeth Armour

Vivien Elizabeth Armour is a multidisciplinary artist from Trinidad & Tobago. Having grown up around the world, Vivien explores the relationship between culture, race, tradition, ethnic hybridity, bodily autonomy and sexuality. Vivien currently situates her practice in the overlap of belonging and not belonging, exploring notions of alien-ness, indigeneity, post-colonial trauma and how that relates to identity. Her paintings juxtapose natural materials such as clay, spices, and raw cotton, with vibrant acid colours, reflecting the visceral energy of Caribbean culture, while focusing on the raw materiality of the earth and its relationship to the body in her ceramic practice.
