Re-examining and challenging perspective, and the possibilities of perspective on canvas and hard-board, Jasmin Joseph's surreal vision, from devotional scenes to those that anthropomorphize animals, present Haiti and Haiti's history in the world (including real events and myth). A visionary, Joseph's art pre-dates current philosophical inquiry into animal consciousness and how it relates to inter-species interaction and the making of the world as we know it.
