This piece is another product of the same collaboration. Thought it was good enough with the pattern overlaid on it. Really gets at what barbershop and salons mean to people, especially black people. The barber's chair is our version of a psychotherapist reclining chair; the barber is the psychotherapist who most of the time allows us to come to our own conclusions about the things that come up as psychologist are said to do. The stillness that barbershop demand as we wait to get our haircut, and as we sit getting our hair cut, forces the issues of life to the back so we can meditate and reflect - as you can see in the face of the kid in the piece above. The pattern overlaid represents the free thoughts roaming both inside and around everyone in the barbershop. Mind you, all of this came to me when I was working on the piece. It's pretty beautiful if you think about it. Stay up and stay peaceful!
