Money

Money is on the minds of the rich, poor and everybody in the middle and so I find it an interesting subject. Its allure usually has dark undertones but that’s not what interests me.

In my pictures I like concentrating on the elemental fact that money is paper and metal. While it’s hard to separate money’s physical properties from what it symbolically represents, I have tried to make its “thingness” be important. Money as a plaything is also an aspect that figures in this work.
