THE GATHERING STORM

Many dollar bills were harmed during the making of this artwork. Look closely. Each of the bendy bills here is made from a single bill that's been shredded into 104 slivers, and re-glued askew. Manipulating individual bills like this... reproducing effects mechanically that may otherwise have come from computer manipulation... is where my currency collage work began.

The title phrase: "the gathering storm" is a double... maybe even a triple... entendre. The 330-odd eager Washingtons crowded at the bottom are a perfect metaphor for... for something.   

This is an original, handmade, one-of-a-kind artwork... not a print or reproduction. Its surface is 100% currency collage on a rigid wooden panel.

The piece is framed in a painted maple frame and glazed with UV filtering plexiglass. Discrete collaged spacers on the inner lip of the frame offer an extra something to the attentive viewer. The back of the frame sports a detailed, handwritten, and signed frame label to aid in future identification and authentication.
