As a creative being, Natasha David has arguably as much as any other Guyanese artist, won the right to ‘talk up’ her work. Its beauty, which so often can be discerned after even the most fleeting glance, reposes in its intricacy, its elegance and the completeness that she manages to infuse into what never comes across as anything less than careful thought and painstaking effort. That said, it is the sheer range of the types of creations that she turns out that is remarkable.
Not once during the hour or so that we spoke did she attempt to ‘sell’ any of her pieces. Instead, she appeared to be focusing on my reactions to my encounters with her work. At intervals she would proffer an insightful comment on the piece that I was contemplating and afterwards, go silent, so that we could move on.
