The Money Series examines value through material, memory, and construction.
Each piece begins with photography of out-of-circulation Bermudian banknotes. The notes are documented, enlarged, fragmented, and rebuilt through silk screen and layered acrylic. What once functioned as currency is transformed into surface, texture, and composition.
By removing money from circulation and reframing it as image, its authority shifts. It no longer buys anything. It simply exists. As history. As design. As belief system.
Gold leaf is applied selectively, often accenting denomination markers and focal symbols. It elevates the very elements we are conditioned to prioritize, forcing the viewer to confront how worth is assigned. As light moves across the surface, value appears to shimmer, fluctuate, and destabilize.

The layering process is deliberate. Photography grounds the work in realism. Silk screen introduces repetition and mechanical precision. Acrylic builds depth and interruption. Gold leaf creates hierarchy. Together, the materials mirror the way financial systems operate, structured yet fragile, ordered yet dependent on perception.
These works are not about rejecting wealth. They are about questioning its construction. Currency is paper backed by trust. Its power exists because we agree that it does.
The Money Series asks a simple question.
If belief shifts, what remains valuable.
