ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

​

Taisha Carrington’s work traces parallels between deep time, the micro-macro movement of particles in bodies of air or water, and the geopolitical conditions of Caribbean microstates—particularly her native Barbados. She studies how humans migrate and adapt by observing how non-human organisms do the same in nature. Viewing materiality as both method and theory, she works with soil, ocean water, breath, sweat, sand, and plants to surface narratives embedded within their material properties. Her research takes form through sculpture, performance, installation, painting, and video.

​

Taisha’s work can be found in the collections of The Dallas Museum of Art and Montreal’s Stewart Program for Modern Design where they have been shown as part of major exhibitions: ‘Constellations’ and ‘Parall(elles) A History of Women In Design’ respectively. She designed Barbados’ 50th Anniversary of Independence National Monument (2016), and was awarded the Council of Fashion Designers of America Design Graduate award (2018). Taisha has exhibited in the United States, Aruba, Canada, Germany, Switzerland and Barbados. She received her BFA from Pratt Institute NY(2018) and is currently pursuing her MFA at Yale University (2026). She has participated in residencies including Pratt>Forward and Caribbean Linked x BIAC Reseaux as part of the Martinique Biennale.​​​
