Never Children:  The frame for this painting is a found object, actually a desk drawer.

I utilized the drawer as a frame for many reasons, the beauty of the wood being one. Mainly, I chose it because the shape was evocative of a reliquary or a place for displaying a sacred object.

In a sense, drawers are where we store scared objects, memories, often in the form of photographs.

This work is from an image in the family album. An image of children put to work in the fields while elsewhere others played in the yard.
