The Art Of Money

London based artist Justine Smith creates fine and fantastic pieces of sculpture and art in many mediums but most impressive are her ‘paper dogs’ and her ‘money’ pieces:

"More recently Justine Smith has developed this theme and has begun producing a series of sculptures covered in (real) money. These have included "A Euro’s for Life Not Just for Christmas", a series of twelve dog sculptures pouncing around a single pound coin. Each dog is covered with a different one of the currencies of the twelve countries that have joined the Euro. She has also produced the "E.U. Ewe", a sculpture of a sheep given a woollen coat made from a thousand pounds worth of Euro notes, and "Sacred Calf" a life sized calf sculpture covered with U.S. Dollars."
