PRESS: "Phibby has been a character in Hebru’s practice for over a decade, and acts as a gateway to explore deep-set issues that surface throughout his practice. The character and his helmet embody what Hebru calls the "black man safe space" – a space in which he negotiates issues of race and assimilation – the desire to fit in."

PRESS (CONTINUED):"The title of the work derives from the words of Brantley’s elders – those who have experienced life in every possible way. In jest or in a bid to save the younger generation from potential pitfalls they've encountered, 'free advice' is offered."
