What can be more powerful than money? Perhaps a grenade or an automatic machine sculpted in money. The artistic Justin Smith does exactly that in his art plus more. The relatively young artiste who is in her early 30’s hail from London and have been creating politically inspired and ethics-based arts for years. Her newest fetish is forming sculptures using currency from all around the world.
“The ‘Money Map of the World’ compounds many of Smith’s ideas relating to money. This piece of work took seven months to produce and is made up of banknotes from every country in the world. The images and cultural symbols on the banknotes are significant and can give an indication not only of the economy of a given country, but also important aspects of its culture. Aside from more obvious images of the local flora and fauna, one can also see elements of a country’s history, religion, its aspirations and defining achievements. In some areas such as the Middle East, spiritual and cultural alliances can be seen as groups of countries appear to merge due to the similarity of Islamic design on the banknotes.”
