Ebony G Patterson

On a visit to the Tate Liverpool, I came across an amazing Artist; Jamaican-born, visual artist, Ebony G Patterson. She had two installations displayed in the Biennial; “fraught…for those who bear/bare witness…” and “when the cry takes root”. These are both incredible pieces of work, which both have such an immense presence in the room. My favourite out of the two was definitely “when the cry takes root”. As you first walk in, you just see this beautiful, extravagant, peacock spread across the floor, but as you walk around and take a closer look, you can see fabric hands sewn around the train of the peacock. Both of these installations serve as a sort of “postcolonial” symbol of the past that Is never fully buried and barely visible. I think that’s very visual in “when the cry takes root” as, when you get to the back end of the installation, you can see a glass model of some legs hiding under the tail of the peacock, almost as if they had been buried. Both the materials and objects have their own narrative and being assembled together, they create a whole new meaning. Against the foloral backdrop, the objects and figures on the ground level, embody images of death – which relates back to the hidden figure buried under the peacock tail.

The Work of Ebony G. Patterson: The Transcendent within the Mundane

These are a few pieces from the multimedia art of Jamaican artist Ebony G. Patterson, and artist who has made her mark in the global art world. Her works have been exhibited in places like the National Gallery of Jamaica, The Studio Museum of Harlem, The Museum of Art + Design, and The Museum of the Americas in D.C. I first learned about her through my family because her work shares similar aesthetics and Afro-Caribbean heritage, so naturally I’m DYING to see her work in person. Her life-sized works take the material and visual culture of contemporary Jamaican youth and “video light” aesthetics and layers them in ways that play with performance, spectacle/theatrics, violence and death, hyper- and invisibility, and residues of colonial subjugation and neoliberal economics. The lush, paradisaical landscape of Jamaica , as we imagine it via historical tourism marketing, is parodied by its flattened and faded representation in carpets, rugs and embroidery patches. The mundane textiles brings to the forefront that which consumer visual culture attempts to hide. Now we can see handmade crafts for the black home (not white tourist), First world imports that are not “authentic” to the island’s natural resources, and embedded glitter that reminds the viewer’s desire in their gaze is to spectacularize Afro-Caribbean objects. Patterson similarly plays with her subjects, completely erasing their skin or turning it into prints and studded with gems. Their clothes and poses are common to “video light” culture, in which young black performers (rappers, singers, dancers) perfect every aspect of their costume, vocals and movement for the camera’s flash, in ways that are immediately identifiable as uniquely Jamaican. The excessiveness of her alterations and layering plays tricks on the viewer’s eyes: is that a bullet hole or a cut out? It that a bandanna or lace? And gold chains, pearls rhinestones laid over flat pictures enact the same glistening affect as the glitter. I am reminded of Anne Cheng’s concepts of second skin and shine in her discussion of Josephine Baker, but Patterson pays more critical attention to the materiality of Black Caribbean life, identity performance, and consumerism. Where Cheng stops at the banana, Patterson traces slavery and colonization with rum bottles and golden tea cups, to neoliberal hierarchies in import/export trade agreements. Black artists of all mediums have used material culture to posit social critique, and fascination with Black culture sometimes lands them and their work in social spaces known for White institutional privilege. But this circulation also allows Black people who have immigrated out of the Caribbean to see their work, and to us, seeing this work is an affirmation of the soul.

“Dead Treez,” which originated at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, explores visibility regarding class, race and gender through the lens of Jamaica’s popular and controversial dancehall subculture. Patterson’s evocative work considers the paradoxical relationship between traditional gender codes and the bombastic aesthetics of dancehall pageantry.

Ebony G. Patterson, "The Passing" (Dead Daadi), 2013; hand-embellished tapestry, 90 x 68 inches

The Jamaican-born Patterson’s work attracts the eye with its highly embellished, illuminated imagery. And once captivated, the viewer is challenged to look beyond the mesmerizing surfaces for a deeper commentary.
