Description
Cut and hammered recycled steel oil-drum. Like Serge Jolimeau, Michée Ramil Remy is from an epicenter of Haitian metalwork, Croix-des-Bouquets. This is where Remy learned parts of the metal arts from his step-father and others. The Soleil is a recurring image in the work of many Haitian metalworkers, and here Remy incorporates a wheel of birds as well as the bright points of the sun. The origin of the Haitian metal works in our Collection remains a mystery. They were removed from a wall in Rhoads Hall, saving them from possible destruction prior to the builiding’s renovation. There were nine metal cuts in total from the three artists displayed here. Created by Michée Ramil Remy (1970- March 2011).
