2. Originally from the halcyon
Caribbean island of Barbados,
Graham has been influenced to
incorporate parts of the islands
features into his work.
Drift wood, colours of the flowers
and even the pastel colours of the
houses.
10. Graham spent many hours on the
beach collecting drift wood, shells
and sea-glass – pieces of glass
eroded by the sea into marble sized
pieces. The drift wood was
eventually used in his craftwork.
14. Graham’s first
attraction to
wood turning was
as a child
watching a
neighbour, Ned
Rollock, working
in his workshop in
Speightstown.
The sight and sound of the chisels
cutting into the wood with streams of
wood dust would have been
spellbinding.
