Art from Money by CK Wilde
Artist C. K. Wilde born1972 in Madison, creates intricate collage compositions using pieces of paper currency from all over the world.
My fetishization of paper money comes from my childhood. I traveled to Europe often to visit my relatives. When I returned, I often still had money from the places where I traveled. An attempt to buy candy with Deutsche Marks in the U.S. brought into sharp relief the inherent contradictions of nationalism and international travel. Are we not one people on our one planet? I thought. Why is this money powerful only in one context, useless in another?
