"One of my woodblock print heroes, Elizabeth Catlett, made an iconic work titled 'Sharecropper' (1952). It’s a direct and powerful image of a woman wearing a straw hat sun hat with regality. I found a photo of my cousin Tyla wearing a similar hat and I was compelled to follow in Catlett’s footsteps with this imagery." —Yashua Klos
