Hard Times.
Recession, depression, foreclosures, unemployment, credit crunch, 401(k) drops, insurance company failures, auto
manufacturer bailouts...
Our economy is in trouble.
The American dollar, which is as much a symbol as it
is a form of currency, has never faced such an uncertain future. In both perception and value the dollar is changing.
As
Wall Street and Washington stuggle to restore the dollar to its previous lofty heights and as Main Street cringes at the latest economic
news perhaps it is time to look at the dollar from an artistic perspective. Perhaps it is time to redesign, revalue and re-evaluate
this symbol of America's economic might.
This project is aimed at getting a different vision of the dollar, its current plight
and the new reality we all must face as a result. This project is about art and the solutions that can be found through and in
artistic expression.
After all, Wall Street, Washington and especially Main Street seem to need our help.
