Penny: Broke

posted January 22, 2021 #

I've been enjoying the variety of works offered from the Hashimoto Contemporary Gallery. They've been sharing these works from Penny, a UK artist that, according to their bio, gave up a career as a neurosurgeon to give chase to the worthy pursuit of cutting holes in paper.

Self-deprecation aside, I love this kind of manipulation. It does a great job of waffling between absurdist fun and meaningful reflections on the corrupt power of capitalism. All that and is amazingly intricate. Give the full body of work a gander.
