I went back and listened to our conversation with Alex: one of the first ones we recorded. It was lovely to hear him talk about his life, his artistic practice. His decency and talent shone through.
Over the years, I had enjoyed talking to him as he began to celebrate his connections to Jamaica. We both had relatives who worked at the same agricultural research station: who knew.
He was a good one. He will be missed. And he created one hell of a legacy against the odds. Vale, Alex. ‘
