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”.

- Places In The Heart, Nut wood sculpture on steel base, female nude, brownBy Troy WilliamsLocated in Santa Fe, NMPlaces 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...Category
