 ARTISTS STATEMENT

 It’s all about legacy, lineage, elegance. Each one to teach one. I teach elegance daily with my tags. They are my kisses to the world.

 Aged 18 I was homeless in Times Square. I was lucky at this point to be taken under the wing of and mentored by Phase2, Vulcan and T.A.T Crew. I consider this good fortune, as my initiation.

 After being repatriated I gained a placement in Germany with former students of Joseph Beuys Free University; Namely Light Klang/Kunst Co-op.

 My current work is about gesture, ritual, performance. Each piece is a meditation.

This is heritage! My work bends minds as it bends mine!
