lost souls

jesse emailed me this photo. it was originally taken by lewis hine when he was working on the child labor series. i stenciled the words lost souls into the image but it doesnt refer so much to the kids themselves as much as it does the feeling that comes from meaningless work. in the background theres a piece of a print josh did from the winter in america theme we've been workin with. the whole thing is on rusted, scratched up steel.
