Across human cultures, religion has been one of the leading sources of both inspiration and conflict among individuals and groups. It has provided the motivation for some of the most significant movements for social reform and for some of the most significant violations of fundamental moral norms. It has both supported and stood in opposition to domination and social hierarchy.

I, locally renowned and award-winning artist, Malcolm J, will be displaying my vintage artwork for viewing and purchasing at Barrel On High, 1120 N. High St., this coming Gallery Hop.
