She holds a BA in Art\u003cbr\u003eand History of Art from the University of Reading, UK, and has exhibited across Trinidad,\u003cbr\u003eincluding he debut exhibition at LOFTT Gallery ‘The Orchid Museum’ , her later solo\u003cbr\u003ecollection at The Frame Shop entitled ‘The Scarlet Eye’. Her work explores the entanglements of identity, memory, womanhood, and cultural\u003cbr\u003einheritance. She works mainly with oil paint on canvas, while integrating\u003cbr\u003eunconventional surfaces such as handmade resin panels that position the\u003cbr\u003ecompositions as mutable archives which resonate with a meditation on duality\/\u003cbr\u003emultiplicities within her work\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist statement\u003cbr\u003eHoneywell draws from historical\/cultural lore and contemporary Caribbean life while being referential to her lived experience within its context.Her compositions evoke a kind of visual poetry rendering the seen and the remembered in layered, expressive form. She often conceptualizes variations of Trinidadian folklore characters within her compositions, exploring them as an exposition of self and the collective. The works explore parallels between identity,nature, and shared lore, commentating on established and derived parallels, interpersonal dynamics, and lived observations, while showcasing duality, and transience of time.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"calypso-at-the-shore","title":"Calypso at the Shore","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalypso at the Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAurora Honeywell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium: \u003c\/span\u003eOil paint and pencil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e70” x 70”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 2026\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eThis piece is an oil painting which reflects on the interconnectedness between what we are what we think we are, the  depth to the context within which we exist in our identities and how that plays  with things we may believe external to ourselves, as well as that which we are yet to become.
