Ouch Teapot in collaboration with a “train-travelling” artist and a very close friend of mine. 2024, oil on a found tea pot, cleaned and ready to use/serve. (DISCLAIMER: This is not 2D! This is a fully functional tea pot ready to serve hot beverages!)

My name is Darron Dashaun Modeste (b. 2005), I am Trinidadian-Canadian, I am from the east coast of Canada and have travelled by car to Alberta when I was very young. I expirenced a rather unfortunate upbringing up until l was around 13, which led me to become vulnerable and ultimately homeless, in and out of high observation adolescent psychiatric wards, until I was 18-19 years of age. I have been learning to express myself, heritage and cultural identity with my art forms while being homeless, and today even now that I am transitioning to living a normal functional adult lifestyle and future. The journey has just begun, the story I need to share will never be finished.
