MARK WAGNER'S MONEY ART

Jeff Reichenberger writes:

I ran across this artist - Mark Wagner - in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel, who is making a lecture stop at the University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee. I checked out his website. Incredible stuff!

Like it! I should get one of these to hang in my garage. I feel like I'm always pushing money around anyway, to pay this bill or that. -Editor

STATEMENT ON COLLAGE WITH CURRENCY
"The one dollar bill is the most ubiquitous piece of paper in America. Collage asks the question: what might be done to make it something else? It is a ripe material: intaglio printed on sturdy linen stock, covered in decorative filigree, and steeped in symbolism and concept. Blade and glue transform it-reproducing the effects of tapestries, paints, engravings, mosaics, and computers-striving for something bizarre, beautiful, or unbelievable... the foreign in the familiar."
