Works

Jasmine Thomas-Girvan is a Jamaican-born, Trinidad-based sculptor and installation artist whose practice spans decades and disciplines — from intimate, wearable objects to large-scale immersive works. Trained in jewellery and textile design, she holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design, where she received the Tiffany Honor Award for Excellence. She describes her approach as "inverse archaeology": recovering what has been obscured, centering indigenous knowledge systems and Caribbean realities. Her work has been exhibited across the Caribbean, the Americas, and Europe. She is a recipient of the Commonwealth Foundation Arts Award, the National Gallery of Jamaica Aaron Matalon Award, and the Silver Musgrave Medal.
