I produced two series based on the caryatids of Grenada’s Wallace Fountain, on loan to Alliance Française by the Cynthia Hughes Foundation. This Wallace drinking fountain is of the same vintage (1792) as the iconic ones in Paris. The Grenada fountain was renovated in 2002 and subsequently heavily damaged in the hurricane of 2004. The first series of five acrylic on canvas works were titled ‘The Water Women’. The second series were acrylic/collage on paper focusing on the damaged parts of the Grenada fountain.
