Penny Experiment Art

Posted on | December 15, 2009 | 5 Comments

In case you did not see my previous post about the Penny Experiment, I am one of the artists taking part in an awesome project.  Artists were to create a piece of art in hopes it can be sold and the money used to buy food for food banks.  The people buying the food are couponers using all their skills to get as much food as possible with a limited amount of money.  If you are someone who does this already contact the Penny Experiment and donate your couponing skills.

I decided to create a piece about the project at hand.  My piece is about people helping people and is titled “In Mankind We Trust.”  There were two rules in creating your work… 1. it had to have a real penny in it and 2. it had to include a number between 1 and 100.  My number was 17 (Sydney’s birthday :) .)  In my piece I included 17 pennies (the real one included), Changed the words In God We Trust into In Mankind We Trust to represent man helping man, changed the word Liberty to Hope, and the letter representing the mint to a  heart.  17 is included in the number of pennies and is also represented by the date.  I decided to do the same process I did with my Identity through Weight series: Sharpies, tempera, multiple pieces, stenciling, and decoupage.
