Artist. Severely private artist whose recent unauthorized exhibitions are proof of his status as a spokesman and replicator for and of the street and culture of the African American. Uses found materials, organic materials, and detritus, to construct objects and installations that are meant to be spiritually, politically, and racially active in their presence rather than passive art objects.
