"This print is based on a series of drawings derived from turn off the century (early 20th) photos of African American residents of Anniston, Alabama, my place of birth. I cannot specifically identify this man but do feel a certain kinship beyond the coincidence of locality. To me he is toiling, struggling to succeed. He holds a bit of self-assuredness, confidence but also a variety of influences, experiences that identify him. Thus, the reason for the various "patches" of patterns shown. So even though this person could be thought of as an "instant ancestor" he could also be a self-portrait, and it is my intent that he works in a similar fashion for the viewer of this work."

Contemporary
Period and styles of painting, sculpture, graphic arts, and architecture dating from the recent past and present. It differs from modern art in that the term 'Contemporary art' does not carry the implication of a non-traditional style, but instead refers only to the time period in which the work was created. 'Modern' and 'Contemporary' are inherently fluid terms. The term 'Contemporary' is sometimes more narrowly used to refer to art from ca. 1960 or 1970 up to the present. To refer to the current time period without reference to style of art, use "contemporary (generic time frame)".

prints
Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use the simple term "prints." With regard to photographs, prefer "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
