When I do a picture and it's 90% black, like 'Bird,' I use 90% black people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't mind being black. I'm black out loud. It's more than the people that they are, it's the condition that they represent.
I work in colour sometimes, but I guess the images I most connect to, historically speaking, are in black and white. I see more in black and white - I like the abstraction of it.
I wear black all the time.
I'm black because that's the way the world sees me.
Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white... to highlight that contrast.
I don't think I have a black-hat image.
When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.
I tend to play characters that aren't supposed to black or written black.
I don't think of people as black or white. It's a question of are they photogenic or not? I don't think anyone says, 'Let's book her. She's black.' I think they say, 'Let's book her. She's good.' We've come that far.
The black person is the protagonist in most of my paintings. I realized that I didn't see many paintings with black people in them.
