Biography

Annalee Davis (born 1963) is a Barbadian multi-media artist. She is a descendant of the plantocracy, and much of her early work examined her identity as a white Barbadian woman. Davis moved from Barbados to Trinidad with her husband sometime before 2001.

Work

Her more recent work has moved from painting and printmaking into installation and video art, and concerns itself with "post-plantation economies" and the transformation of Barbados from forests to sugarcane farms to a tourist destination.Much of her work uses mixed media installation to explore the Caribbean experience of identity as one that it mitigated by constant migration. Many of her pieces contain a self-portrait; her style has been described as reminiscent of Frida Kahlo. Some of her works include To Hang and to Hold (1998 acrylic painting on canvas with galvanized wire) and And Knitting Them Together (1998 painting using acrylics, cotton, and paper on canvas). She has also made work that explores the postcolonial relationship to food production in her native Barbados, in a 2016 performance entitled (bush) Tea Services.
