Mixed-media artist Michael Booker creates works encompassing African American history and culture. The subjects and forms of his paintings reference hip hop music, African wax fabrics, and Gee’s Bend quilts, named for a remote community in Alabama where enslaved women created abstract patterned quilts from clothing and fabric scraps and passed their techniques down to future generations.
