Indigo


I am working on this image for a show in Savannah - trying to be a little creative with the regional persona. I think really working with indigo, turned your skin blue. It was heavily produced in the coastal islands around Georgia and South Carolina and the slaves on those islands had their own language - a pigin English known as Gulla. The people who spoke it and still do are called Geechi's.
