Toorel Asher is a Sculptor, working primarily with clay. Born in St. Andrew, Jamaica in 1988. She studied for a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, with a concentration in Ceramic Sculpture. She currently resides and works in Kingston, Jamaica.

I was highly inspired by Jane Alexander's, Butcher Boys, which reflects the grotesque nature of Apartheid in South Africa. Her aim was to criticize the society's wanton slaughter of blacks. I hope to appeal to viewers in a similar approach.
