''My work revolves around an exploration of identity, more specifically, the intersections of Blackness and womanhood. I am interested in the ways in which this physical identity can serve as a positive force of connection and closeness, while also examining its imposed relationship to otherness.'' - Gio Swaby
"Marginalized communities are often overlooked and omitted from history in general. The history I was taught did not have my ancestry represented. As a child of the hip hop era, born in the 70s, growing up in the 80s and 90s, I look at my work as almost remixing, crate-digging, but my crates are museums, private collections, and historical narratives. I remix my pieces according to my own way of writing history. " - Stan Squirewell
"I am a thinker, philosopher, artist. My work is meant to inspire and motivate, comfort, and reassure. Time is our friend; I live every day inspired. In my paintings you will find fragments of my philosophy there for the taking. Patterns, numbers, cyphers, letters, lines…. These are the texture which is the life I hope to share in every work of mine." - BK Adams
