| One very different sculpture made solely of money |
Did you ever expect to see your dollars being put to a use other than spending or saving it? Most people cringe when they see Justine Smith's different spin on art. Not only does Smith make sculptures out of paper, but also out of money itself. Readers call her work "priceless...literally!"

This talented artist came almost out of nowhere, having come from London and bringing with her the idea that money, in a physical aspect, is only paper. It is the value with which we mentally associate it that makes it so valuable. Therefore, why can't art work be the same way?

Because her idealistic approach holds its own truth, Smith's work has been highly exhaulted worldwide. She now sculpts for the British Council and the UK Art Collection, two of the most prestigious collectors in Europe. Hats off to this young artist for creating her own money's worth!
