Stephen Hayes: Cash Crop

In a printmaking class, Stephen Hayes encountered an image of a slave ship diagram. Thus began a process that would eventually lead to his installation, Cash Crop. Coupled with a predisposition for three-dimensional objects which began in his youth – his parents would bring him old machine and computer parts — the work of this young artist suggests a creative mind that has a unique insight into the emotional holds of people. Cash Crop is an exhibition that invites viewers to walk into an emotional and physical and psychic space to confront the past, present, and future.
