‘Still Nigga…’ (2022)
48″ x 48″
Acrylic, paper, gold leaf, and embroidery floss on canvas

Still Nigga…is based on the brown paper bag test, the one-drop rule, Nina Simone’s song Four Women and Jay Z’s song The Story of O.J. No matter how much “white” blood you may have in you if you have one drop of “black” blood you are still a “nigga” according to some.
