His travels allowed him to unite references from diverse cultures with symbols from his own Guyanese birthplace in a search for a universal symbolism in his work. The name "Dunnamite Dan" is actually a reference to the artist's father. Locke described his father as a "furniture maker by trade, highly skilled and much respected by his peers. Occasionally he was also a gold prospector (in Guyana) in the days when gold was plentiful. Each prospector had a nickname by which he was known, such a Skybar, Pigeon Island Brown, or Ocean Shark. As I was told, due to the spectacular feat of building a boat with only an axe, my father earned the nickname Dunnamite Dan. In the local Creolese version of English, dynamite is pronounced 'dunnamite'."Gift promised to the Tubman African American Museum.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/BustsMasksTwigsCreole dialects--GuyanaArtisans--GuyanaDedicationsTable for Dunnamite DanStillImage
