back next (bathroom door paintings)
Money Tree © 1994 Tom Ferguson I was asked to design
it & in collaboration with Susan Durose, one of the Liberty House
partners, I got it down on paper. It was to go around a column holding
up the radiating beams of the addition. So I had to work in conjunction
with the contractors, who saved my butt more than once. Getting it on
paper was easy & even fun but actually doing it... i'm not a
sculptor but I had to fake it for this project. I still occasionally go
in & repair some damage from overzealous frolickers. I designed the
money using 6 singles (1 thru 6 dollar bills), front & back &
mixing up the paper colors for variety & using a glue gun to attach
them to the paper machier canopy. The tree construction was truely a
nightmare. Don't get me started. Below i've added some close-ups of the $$$. Not
all the backs are shown... I should add those.
