Darby Holden

“Fist Full of Grace”
Acrylic on Canvas

Minimum Bid: $400

Statement
This piece is inspired by our labor population. How so often they are holding on by hope and grace. They are so forgotten and unseen; as they serve all. With out them the “wheel” may not spin as smooth. The worker has been forced to accept wages and conditions that are poor. When we make the changes to show our population that it is those who grow our food, build our homes, and care for our livestock who are the most important, our link and connection to the earth will be renewed and we may find a more peaceful and connected community.
