About
Judith Salmon
A Primal Power
“… What strikes me about Judith Salmon’s work right from the start is her striking originality on the one side of the equation and on the other its almost totemic archetypal power, such as we find in purely native objects of art. This primal power brings one into the presence of a woman who straddles two very different dimensions of time and place: on the one hand a very earthy mother-like healing dimension evocative of rural Jamaican life, and yet still evoking (simultaneously) the self portrait of a very contemporary, urban woman artist found through the developed world.”
