Price: $2700
About:
“While working in the film industry and running an underground after-hours dance club, I found myself having to choose between a very dangerous underground life Stylz in Vancouver, and my path forward as an artist. I realized I was going in the wrong direction. The spray can was calling for a better way of life, so I made a choice to put down this unforgiving life of guns and gangs and get on with the art world. This decision brought me out of the underground culture that had long-term devastating effects of trauma on me. Thank you, creator, for our gifts. From this experience, I was able to create this sculpture as a way to remind me to keep going. It’s also a tribute to the graffiti culture, as it continues to be recognized for the amazing art form it is, and continues to gain access to new areas of creation in murals, canvas, sculpture, and my native culture. This was the path that led to my showing at the National Gallery of Canada in the Sakahàn show.”
