Preserved by his prescient mother, they show how a young child is being directed, limited, and influenced by contemporary iconography, and offer, as well, an ironic commentary on contemporary art and the merchandising that accompanies the current art scene.

His work has been shown internationally, including at the San Francisco Art Institute, Centre Georges Pompidou, Documenta IX (Kassel), Kwangju Biennial and the 1999 Venice Biennial.
