Kim Kermode – Five of Spades

By: Kim Kermode

Medium: Acrylic

Bio: Kim Kermode is a Montreal born artist now residing in Melbourne. Her work is a stepping stone into her discovery of her complex Caribbean heritage on her mother’s side. From a young age, she was fascinated by the confidence portrayed from ‘people of colour’ (POC) and while she was exploring what it meant to be part Martiniquan, she was also navigating her own confidence and complexities with colourism. Having only visited Martinique once, her memory of the landscape and the people are blurred with what she sees in the media and other people mixed with Western Caribbean roots.

Artist Statement: ‘5 of Spaces’ by Kim Kermode is a painting of landscapes and themes that reminds her of the tropics.
