Labor

hand painted color etching - 9" x 14" - edition of 20 - $450

Since ancient times,

the real meaning of labor has been

the labor to create oneself.

That what constitues each person

- the raw materials of our physical, emotional, mental, spiritual being -

must be shaped so that we become our "ideal image:"

the best that we can be.

This labor takes the efforts of a forger,

and out of the raw materials,

symbolized by the rough earth,

we create ourselves.
