Spot On

Living large, and polkas all over. Jun Kaneko's ceramic work Polkadot Dango, show at the Everson, hits the spot. And the form reminds me of a Nick Cage suit. It does seem like a figure that would move about at any moment.

George is the Name

In honor of the newest George, here is a cropped image of Gilbert Stuart's "George" from the Everson Museum. Many of you may recall my piece, called, natch, "George" is this cropped view. But I think the reverse is what is on the dollar bill, as well as my rendition.

Set a Plate For Me

Stephanie Rozene's piece 270: the corrosive use of money in politics, installed at the Everson Museum, stopped me in my tracks. Made with porcelain, decals, and gold luster, the images are those found on printed currency. Hundreds of these plates are mounted to the wall, enough for each country that exists, with dozens left over for me and you.
