Silk Screen Project


My latest project has been a silk screen project in the style of Andy Warhol. Our assignment was to choose an image that would provoke a reaction from the viewer about a theme in our society today. I chose the image of the dollar bill to represent our infatuation with wealth and money. After completing many screen prints I composed them in this arrangement to create a feeling of being overwhelmed by the idea of wealth and money. I chose this composition because it makes the viewer feel how society makes people feel about the idea of money. People today seem so intently focused on wealth and monetary matters that they loose sight of what really matters. I hope my work desensitizes the viewer to the bombarding idea of the economy and monetary matters.
