This is an excellent and unexpectedly progressive image from the heart of America's Bible Belt, featuring a sophisticated multi-layered photomontage involving a picture-perfect nuclear family, the Statue of Liberty and the Bible. Conservative religions are not normally associated with avant-garde art, and yet here the technique is put to use to raise funds for Baptist Sunday schools.
