These words describe sculptor Laura Facey and her work that has spanned over 40 years. Laura interprets the energy of the earth, the lush vegetation, and the constant river at her home in St Ann, Jamaica. She combines the strength, beauty and history of the land with her personal spiritual alchemy and translates it into storytelling creations — sculpture as a soul-journey through pain into light - taking in life and breathing out love.

"In the process of confronting her own shadows, she has become what Jung referred to as a 'visionary artist', a conduit offering access to an inner terrain. Laura's themes transform and heal, adding a unique quality to her work." -Anne Errey Artist, curator and writer.

Laura was catapulted to fame in 2003 with the unveiling of REDEMPTION SONG, the controversial monument to emancipation situated at the entrance to Emancipation Park in Kingston, Jamaica. She has exhibited worldwide including at the International Slavery Museum, Liverpool, UK. The exhibit's centerpiece, THEIR SPIRITS GONE BEFORE THEM, was endorsed by UNESCO's Slave Route Project and awarded their logo in 2013.

“DUAFE” Collaboration By Laura Facey & Kevin Brown

Guango. 51" x 37" x 18"

USD $5000

DUAFE is an African word made by combining two words 'dua' meaning 'wood or wooden' and 'afe' meaning 'comb'. This sculpture is from my comb series... untangling as she goes. The pattern on DUAFE is inspired by a piece of coral given to me by my granddaughter. After Kevin's KING'S THRONE, Kevin began making patterns on the 'naked' DUAFE which inspired me to show him pieces of coral. Kevin and I worked together to create DUAFE.
