RedBlack D. Lawrence’s practice responds to a personal and ancestral history through a psychological lens. He intertwines the personal and the political, drawing on his family history such as his grandfather being a shaman from Jamaica belonging to Afro-Caribbean religion which includes movements such as Vodou, Obeah and Santeria, and Lawrence’s mental health. At the heart of his work is a questing for the demonic.
