Speaking
of money, specifically as
an American, and I think this gets
closer to these particular works, are
you using the images in a
condemnatory way?
The
face of the Great Emancipator
staring out at us dominates ‘Current
Currency for the Emancipation
Prescription Nation’. Abraham
Lincoln is America's first genuine
mystic figure. The big "5" of $5 bills in
the corners of the composition are
sacralized by the presence of this
gaunt otherworldly icon. We trade
money constantly, every day, all the
time. Each bill a composition of
sacred images, pyramids with eyes,
Latin phrases, ornate circles, and
coils of filigree. For me, references to
money in art are not condemnatory,
derisive, cheapening, but magical.
