object, it's production under
what circumstances,
it's relative value, and human value within a capitalistic, racial, class structure. Employing post modern esthetics,
and post modern techniques, these works enter into the traditions
of American social realism of the 1930's often displaying
and exhalting the American workers struggle. In this presentation
the American workers world is that of a twelve and thirteen
year old paid two dollars an hour. Each art work was
made using legal

large scale paint by number paintings in sets of
three and four at two dollars per hour. Child labor, cheap labor, cheap
food, and cheaper American art production for its great society.
