About the Artwork
Start your morning with a piece of history in your hands. This glossy ceramic carries Antionette Simmons Hodges' powerful figurative artwork honoring Black farmers and laborers — figures working the land in vivid blues, greens, yellows, and warm earth tones. Sharecropping was the system that replaced slavery in name while preserving it in practice — yet what survived inside it was extraordinary dignity, community, and a relationship to the land that was spiritual, not just economic. A tribute to resilience, ancestry, and the dignity of those who built something lasting from the soil.
