Greg GiraldoFor me it's really important that the work here displays an aesthetic of decay along with the sunken boat with the broken ceramic pieces.

Nelson PiquetI think Hip Hop and Gospel are such strong distinct cultures that have problems, unspoken problems obviously, but problems with one another. On the hip hop side, it's the problems of "awe man I don't like the suits and ties," and on the Gospel side it's " awe man they need to pull their pants up." I just think those are minor, really small issues that we just need to get over and learn to help each other. We're all on the same , and in the same boat.

Anne Sexton
