In my earlier years I lived in Caroni, the Sugar Cane Belt of Trinidad. When sugar cane harvest time came around I was able to see the whole process from burning the fields, to cutting the cane manually with cutlass (machete), to transport by ox (oxen, bison) pulled carts.
I use colours to depict the fire as the field of sugar cane is first burnt before reaping.
Depicting this scene represents a part of me and way of life that existed for many hundreds of years here in the Caribbean. Trinidad no longer has a sugar cane industry; it is now part of our history.
Cynthia McLean is a self-taught painter, metal sculptor, jeweller and fabric designer. She holds a diploma in Interior Decorating. Having always had a passion for art, she attended extra mural classes with the late M.P. Alladin, the Art Society (San Fernando) and Vera Baney. In 1984 Art Creators Gallery held a solo exhibition of her copper sculptures. For many years she successfully produced works of the highest calibre in this medium. After taking this medium as far as possible (even to the point of assembling the three metals-copper, brass and aluminium- on to painted canvas), she has taken now to paint and brush. Her work can be found in private collections both in Trinidad and abroad, churches, as well as The Central Bank collection...
