black cursive text on a gallery wall that fades to a light grey reads 'No smoke without you, my fire...', 'Transatlantic trade as a circulation of form: traces of bodies, Bouganvilleas, textiles, tobacco. 'The Sea is history' wrote Derek Walcott. But the waters are too deep and smoke gets in my eyes.'
