‘The Story of Wi Pi Po: I’m White!!! Um…Ok?’ (2022)
36″ x 36″
Acrylic and paint chips on canvas

The Story of Wipipo: I’m White!!!! Ummm…OK???  Is based on Jay-Z’s song “The Story of O.J”.  In this work I use a varying palette of “white” paints and various “white” paint chips that offer the suggestion that “white” is not as “white” as it appears.  There has to be some “black” and some “other” in there somewhere.
