NARI WARD Artist

The Jamaican-american artist is famed for large-scale installations that confront social and political issues head-on, such as Peace Keeper (1995), a rusted, burnt-out hearse decorated with feathers that recently featured in the ‘Grief and Grievance’ show at New York’s New Museum. For our Artist’s Palate series, he chose ackee and saltfish patties (page 130). ‘The tasty combination is quite rare, and makes this humble meal even more special,’ he says.
