Money Honey (2023)

Found images, grocery receipts, glitter paper and acrylic medium on canvas board

8" x 10" x 1/4"

 

This one-of-a-kind, handmade collage is part of my FEBRUALLAGE 2023 collection—a set of works created for an international challenge using a daily prompt to create a new collage each day in February. This collage was prompted by the word: MONEY

 

This collage is a study in contrasts: a glitzy, sparkly foreground set against the most mundane of backgrounds. The model (pulled from a 1970s era shampoo ad) has hair that matches the copper of the pennies she sits in. This collage is cheeky, fun and perfect for those who love a shiny object.

 

Initialed on the front and signed in signature silver on the back.

 

All collages are made from found and recycled materials—they carry the story of their past (and some materials are very old)! This can mean discoloration, cracks, fading or other imperfections. It’s all part of the process. To maintain the integrity of your art, keep out of direct, sustained sunlight.
