New Work
Michael Speaker sculptor
We are still a divided nation.
One of the groups is the NASCAR Dads.
This group is still in some sort of rapture about the South. NASCAR types have corporate logos all over their clothing and of course, they are good fathers.
I combined all these elements in this piece. The KKK outfits will have lots of corporate logos on them. Viagra and Cialis, and some of the other corporate good citizens will be emblazoned across both figures.
Note: The KKK outfits were modeled exactly after the Knights Templar who participated in the Crusades. The KKK was an insurgency that was a winked at way of keeping blacks terrorized for 100 shameful years until they were called on their behavior by the civil rights movement. There is still more work to be done.
