boy in a hood

I was asked to be in a show of African American artists during the month of February, and i not so respectfully declined (as i am tired of being pigeon-holed as a black artist especially when it comes to doing shows during "black history month".the curator called me back a few days later, having run into the same concern from other artists he asked to be involved....so he eloquently titled the show "28 Days Later".i decided to do a concept piece about stereotypes and race in this day and age.i call this piece "Boy N A Hood"
