I love/hate this art by Scott Campbell! The use of laser cutting and topographical layering to create a form is intriguing. And, I can understand using currency as a medium to display that it is either void of real value or can be elevated in value with an artists intervention. For these pieces though, the use of money just doesn't translate the message of the piece as well as another material might. It's like the artist is telling me that he used money just because he has a lot of it and we don't...which is what I hate. I hate that he has enough money to burn/laser cut and I do not. I want to burn stacks of $1 bills too! I know it will piss off the strippers, but who cares!?
This artist does do some really nice stuff though. Check out his site- ScottCampbellTatoo.com
