BLUE CHIPPER
Giclee (pastel)
2004
8" X 11"
edition 400

This young man agreed to pose for the money, but after understanding the significance of the subject matter, an aura of living history came over him. In today’s society he is what one calls a blue chipper, an elite athlete desired by many of the major universities in the country. I found myself conflicted and intrigued by the thought of what this young black man would have known in 1860.
