"Stephen Althouse grew up close to farmers and their work with earth and animals. During his teens and twenties, he explored the primordial realm of labor by working arduous jobs at a stone quarry, on the railroad, in concrete construction, and in road building. Through his interactions with fellow workers, he became sensitive to a culture of people who approach a life of physical labor with the same humility and compliant determination as countless generations before them. During these formative years, Althouse also began to question our species' predisposition for making war. He embeds humankind’s different attributes and the historical ties of humanity, labor, and warfare into much of his artwork."
