I.M. Spadecaller

Early American plantations were associated with disparities of wealth and income, political influence, and exploitative social systems such as indentured labor and slavery, which resembles the course of a corporate dictatorship that has infiltrated today's American political system and subjugated the fair and equal representation of the working class wage earner. These are the hands of the tired and underpaid working class.

This work communicates the pain. I grew up in the South with the last generation of blacks that had no area of equality in the society. This excellent work reminds me of how far we have come and yet do not see the end of the road to tolerance. Tom B

Great image different way to communicate the concept of immorality of slavery and exploitation. I hope one day we will apply the same thinking to animals and eradicate the animal concentration camps called factory farms. In the words of Leo Tolstoy "As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields!"

Matt, this is a powerful image. What people do not understand is there will never be equality in this world as long as man trys to rule man, which has gone on for centuries. It is called greed and power. Our freedom comes from God and he will be the one to settle the score....................Jayne

It seems most artists have trouble painting hands. I do not see any problem here & if I had to choose I would say this is y favorite by you.
