The museum says:
“Dilworth ‘draws on the memories and experiences from the [his] life in Providence and home of Lawrenceville, 50 miles south of Richmond, Virginia.; Dilworth describes his artwork as tackling ‘issues of race, culture, ethnicity, family, myths, folktales, and religious beliefs through metaphor and allegory." ‘
