The woman who married for money tends her assets
mixed media assemblage
doll/moneybox, 'tree' of rose quartz, shredded banknotes set in resin
by Dale Copeland, 2008
| That doll money box with the coin slot set as it is, had always bothered me. It seemed too obvious. I'd put her through a lot of changes, from being a Sheila na Gigh figure to being rubbed bare, a whited sepulchre. Finally silver-grey, in her garden, tending ALL her assets. From money tree to the well-kept trophy body. |
