"Chris Ofili has placed dung in a paper bag for his instalment 'Bags of Shit' and in 1993, and held a 'Shit Sale' in Brick Lane Market in London. Chris Ofili has played with the street parlance of "Shit" as drugs, and the fact that some people have assumed he was selling drugs because of his dreadlocked hairstyle - hence his work 'Shithead', a piece of elephant dung, which resembles hashish, incorporating his own hair". http://www.chrisofiliprints.info/biography.php?cur=EUR
