A piece of art usually costs a lot more than its individual pieces. Still, the author's idea itself and his work are of great value. A good example of this is small sculptureswho are an American artist Stacey Lee Webber creates from coins denomination of one cent.
At numerous auctions and opening days, you can buy works of art for money. But sometimes the coins and bills themselves can become such. Proof of this is the work of Jacqueline Lou Skaggs, Wander Martich and Stacy Lee Webber.
The latter, for example, should soon turn into the worst enemy of the United States Federal Reserve System (the structure that controls the issue of dollars). After all, she collects small coins throughout this country and withdraws them from circulation. And, more precisely, it turns these funds into works of art.
She creates small sculptures from one-cent coins to represent anything. It can be tools of labor (such as hammers and saws), and figures of people, and some abstract things.
Stacy Lee Webber manually, using a hammer, file, chisel and other tools, holds the coins together, giving these structures pre-defined shapes.
Stacy Lee Webber herself explains the meaning of these sculptures with an aspiration to show how much handicraft and handwork have depreciated in recent decades. And, if earlier, manufactories and physical activity could bring enough money for a comfortable life, now both are worth mere pennies, that is, cents.
