All White everything
All White everything
This piece gives viewers a quick history lesson of the segreagated "Whites Only" barbershops that allowed black men to work there. During that time society put the term "white" high on a pedestal. The barber chair inside of the glass and wood box is a representation of the black men that worked.

This piece was apart of an installation I curated along with my wife and daughter in our hometown Memphis, TN called “CHOPP SHOP: A Barber Exposé”. The exhibition offers an in depth exploration behind the history of barbers, hair artistry, women and male hair hygiene, and the overall therapy that lies underneath it all. Through film photography and other creative expressions, the work presents a sense of connection with the community.
