So, Hampton was a self-taught artist who worked as a janitor in Washington, D.C., and he spent about 14 years creating his Throne in a garage. It's made from all sorts of recycled materials, like old furniture, cardboard, and even bottle caps, which is pretty cool. I mean, who wouldn't want to turn trash into treasure, right?
But what's really interesting about Hampton's artwork is the symbolism behind it. He was a pretty spiritual guy, and his Throne is full of religious imagery and code-like messages. It's like a big puzzle, and trying to figure out what it all means is part of the fun. Are you curious yet?
