A sculptural study shaped by hip-hop history and ’90s nostalgia.
I plan to experiment with more textures and materials, but I wanted to test the waters with this piece.
The sculpture brings together two recognizable aardvarks: Arthur, from the classic PBS series, and Quasimoto, the character created by Madlib. The lunchbox is a nod to the brick associated with Quasimoto.
The piece also draws inspiration from the iconic gladiator mask worn by the late MF DOOM.
