Abstract

This chapter explores the terrapsychology of plants in the history and landscape of space and place, from the perspective of the Caribbean Island, the Commonwealth of Dominica as an integral component of Creole culture. It investigates colonial and postcolonial botanical roots and routes, drawing on the reflexive experience of an artist. Diasporic experience questions the impact of migration and intertwined heritage, namely in Africa, Dominica and Britain. The study crosses the disciplines of ethnobotany, history, art and psychogeography and is underpinned by theories of entanglement and transplantation. This chapter aims to demonstrate how transatlantic botanical narratives and artistic expression can better explain the complexities of Creole culture and connect to postcolonial landscapes.
