Renaissance craftsman Troy Nixon, who also answers to the name 'Straight Up', captivates through the concept of transforming what is considered refuse, materials mostly from coconut trees, into works of art.
Mr Nixon desires for the craft to be documented and placed within the curriculum of the country's high schools.
He hopes that getting young, fresh and creative minds involved in this genre of expression will, with consistent effort, usher in a new raw material trend within the native craft production industry.
Just consider the role that the straw plait in its harvested form has played since the first vendors proudly displayed their meticulously hand-crafted wares for sale.
Today, the straw plait continues to dominate the craft market scene and remains an integral part of the tourist experience.
