My artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues as they relate to the black experience. In my work, I deconstruct the American dream. Having engaged subjects as diverse as the civil rights movement, hip hop, jazz, sports and urban landscapes, my work reproduces familiar visual signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. Often times these themes are approached in a whimsical manner, and are often embellished with the implication of texture.
