• Artist Statement

  I wanted to explore the differences between the appearance of old money versus where it came from. I used the hand to represent the clean and gentle appearance of old money, layered in front of the feral dogs which represent the true aggressive nature of accumulating that wealth. The two are tied together by the pearls which represent the wealth itself.
