'Barbados in a Nutshell' is an installation artwork consisting of found objects and audio. "Artefacts", such as a porcelain tea cup, bottles of rum and a tourist brochure are displayed in transparent cabinets. The cabinet, tall and narrow, contains compartments with various objects on display in a vertical plane, resembling an archaeological cross section, with a folded "For Sale" sign precariously balancing on top, and sits in a shallow square base containing water. An audio addition is also within the artwork, featuring the last time the Bulkeley sugar cane factory horn sounded, on June 14th 2002. Alongside this is the artist's rendition of the Barbados national anthem, sung with the accompaniment of Tuk band music.
Davis describes the work, stating "The piece presents a souvenir display of ways in which we have been mapped from the seventeenth century until now. In the past we were mapped by others and for others. Now we map ourselves for others. Consequently, we find it difficult to locate ourselves. Where do we find the map we so desperately need. Like a syringe inserted into the island's history, Barbados in a Nutshell displays the innards of the coral island. The work suggests that we cannot become a 'real' country unless we map ourselves for ourselves.'Barbados in a Nutshell' is an installation artwork consisting of found objects and audio.
