Camille Chedda

Buildings were thought to have been made from substandard concrete blocks and Chedda’s work echoed discussion about proliferation of poor materials used in already undermined communities.

The work looks at the wider issue of neo-colonial devastation, in part created by state malpractice and the politics of neo-liberal global interference that the Caribbean region and other developing world nations face.

[5] Chedda's work "Sketch for Exchange Value", in the group exhibition Insides (2015) at New Local Space (NLS) in Kingston Jamaica, exhibited along with work by Oneika Russell, Phillip Thomas and Prudence Lovell took the methods of drawing beyond its more conventionally recognized use as a preliminary means of generating ideas behind the scene, to highlight the autonomous entity that drawing can be in contemporary art practice.

The exhibition touched on subjects such as violence against the black body, distorted connectivity in the digital age, and notions of obscurity and transcendence in the context of displacement.

Chedda's installation consisted of portrait renderings on the interior of plastic bags speaking simultaneously to fragility and dispensability of the subjects depicted therein.
