Catalogue Note
"[These works] described [Rodney King] as larger than life, scary, and that it took ten policemen to bring him down. I started thinking, what does that look like and how do I identify myself as a black male? I was thinking the moment I leave my studio my identity is in jeopardy. What I was really creating was something to protect my identity, something to protect my spirit, and somehow it was seductive and you were curious about it." Nick Cave
