I began this series while on an assignment for Sports Illustrated to photograph amateur boxing in Mexico.

"Saints and Martyrs pays homage to the anonymous artisans who fashioned the statues...
'These sculptures transcend most folk art," (Krause) says. 'They are not conceptually motivated. The sculptor felt the suffering, and it allowed him to create something beyond himself and beyond the repetitive forms usually handed down among folk artists. I am responding to the artisan's passion and his unique vision.'"
