I am taking a Caribbean art course this semester, and I think I have found my favorite artist from the region. This phenomenal artist/designer is Peter Minshall, a native to Trinidad. He does large-scale costumes for Carnival, often winning Carnival King. I chose Minshall because his works are pretty damn impressive! His wearable pieces give me a lot of ideas for my own wearable artwork. Just take a look at these over-the-top costumes that can almost be considered sculptures.
"Mancrab"
"Danse Macabre"
"He Who Laughs Last"
And some videos. These pieces have to be seen in motion to fully appreciate them;

Very cool. Jana Sterbak did a really interesting piece (totally different subject) where the person is harnessed into a giant hoop skirt and has to drive herself around with remote control.
