The imagery of paper money embodies the hopes, history and the propaganda of a nation. Such images are the clothing with which nations dress their insecurities. They are the business cards nations put forward for introduction. Digitally transferred imagery from the back of a $2 U.S bill placed puzzle like fashion on to fifty white cot¬ton tee-shirts and a huge 125"X100" images of Bolivian Guerrilla leader Azurduy de Padilla taken from the nation's 1000 peso note, are just two highlights from this exhibit entitled "Nationalist Portraits". The exhibit uses ten images from paper currency of varying nations and mag-nifies them in order to suggest a slightly hidden theme. The thesis for this exhibition describes, in first person format various life experiences of the artist that have allowed him to see the imagery of money. In this unique way, each piece is given a physi¬cal description as well as a bit of insight as to its deeper meaning. The artwork from "Nationalistic Portraits" is a step beyond the purely aesthetic; it is a unique view on a global human story as well as a whispered call for change.
