Show Me The Money! UK Artist: Justine Smith

By: Holly Becker, decor8

When it comes to interesting graphics and unique design, Justine Smith is right on the money! This London-based artist has a total green theme going on, not eco-green, we’re talking bling bling green. She creates a series of sculptures covered in cold hard cash! "At once a visual pun, these works also explore our relationship with that most ubiquitous aspect of life and our responce to it, either in a political, moral or philosophical sense, as well as emphasising the physical beauty of the note." Justine says.

Money aside, she is particularly known for her ongoing series of dog sculptures which are meticulously formed from chicken-wire and plaster. When the sculpture is complete, she collages over it forming one snazzy pup!

In addition to her sculptures and works on paper, Justine also creates these beautiful wall-mounted paper contructions that I’m in love with. I can totally see these in a contemporary or even a vintage modern home. She uses paper pieces to form these beautiful butterflies. So pretty!
