Diamond in the back
Diamond in the back
Diamond in the back gives me the feel of the song by William DeVaughn. My dad has tons of vinyls he forcefully made me listen to growing up. I really appreciate that experience because it gave me the inspiration I needed for the piece. The piece itself is an overall feeling after a fresh haircut and a great conversation with your barber…
"Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got.."

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.
