About the Item
“Guilt of Innocence” (Postage Due Mr. Lee)
Most of us don’t realize the true cost of the lifestyle we enjoy. There is a price paid by humanity that lives in our shadow. Unfair trade practices have stripped multitudes from their means of subsistence, thus forcing them to bow down to the system that has taken from them a meaningful life. The sculpture “Guilt of Innocence” depicts the American consumer’s role in this tragedy.
Who is Mr. Lee?
Lee Kyung was a South Korean farmer whose family farm is now a parking lot due to the WTO and unfair trade practices. Farmers in South Korea, who once made a good middle class living on their land, are now impoverished by the dumping of subsidized food onto their market by rich countries.
In 2003, at the WTO summit in Cancun, Mexico, a metal barricade was constructed to separate the WTO members from the the ten to fifteen thousand protesters from across Mexico and the rest of the world. Mr Lee climbed the barricade, read a statement about his efforts to save South Korean farmers, then plunged a knife into his heart. His last words were that the “WTO kills farmers”.

Troy Williams
Troy Williams is a gifted and dedicated sculptor. He has studied in the United States and Europe, and his work can be found in private collections around the world. A full-time sculptor since the early 80s, Williams feels his most valuable education has come from the experience of sculpting. The subject of his sculpture ranges from inspiring liturgical works to a more abstract sculpture representing moments or beings expressed in human form. Williams has a wide variety of styles that range from the classical representational figures to more stylized figures with suggestive lines and sweeping movement. Although his work ranges in style and subject, they all carry a figurative theme reflecting our deepest nature. Williams's most recent work may be found here and at Glenn Green Galleries.

Places In The Heart, Nut wood sculpture on steel base, female nude, brown, Williams
Sculptor Troy Williams unites the timeless and the contemporary in sculptures of rare beauty and meaning Beyond all the narrative potential of the three obvious physical dimensions of Troy Williams’ sculpture, there are many other considerations that contribute greatly to the enjoyment, appreciation, and understanding of his entrancing 360-degree works of figurative art. Among these are the emotional responses and intellectual interpretations that first go into the artist’s creative process and then into every subsequent spectator’s viewings at least somewhat differently each time. Some artists insist on leaving these entirely up to each viewer, but Williams is glad to enrich the experience by inviting the viewer in for a little insight into the artist’s intention. Certain ambiguities and unintended provocations might otherwise arise, as Williams uses original combinations of materials or ideas in highly original ways. Williams specializes in figurative and facial sculptures...
