Flowers is among a group of African American artists that have used their visual art platform to call for social change; however, he categorizes his art as a “love movement:” Having spent the last twenty-two years incarcerated after being wrongly imprisoned as a youth, he used his time reading voraciously and found himself intrigued by scientific theories of time. Flowers felt a particular kinship with Stephen Hawkins whose bodily imprisonment and limitations of movement seemed to reflect his own incarceration. His recent exhibition represented an homage to Stephen Hawkin and his book, A Brief History of Time. Flowers earned credit as a student and became inspired to write and self-publish eleven books while in prison. Since being released, he has worked with Kim Kardashian for her documentary, The Justice Project and collaborated with Kanye West in a spoken word performance. He has received the Halcyon Arts Lab and Echoing Green fellowships and has been featured in exhibitions at MoMA PS1 (Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration) and as a panelist at conferences on the campuses of many universities around the country.
