Fortune's Daughter by Mark Wagner |
|
|
Fortune’s Daughter pictures a nude female figure rendered in fragmented one dollar bills. Its weightless figure with out-turned hands steps from a swirling landscape of flowers through an arched architecture of distorted bills--recalling depictions of Venus, Christ, and Eve. The collage, made from 200 bills cut into 12,390 pieces, is a figure birthed from legal tender, an evocation of personal value from the material of commercial value, an allegory of prosperity. 7 1/2 x 4 inches closed |
