This series of drawings takes a diagrammatically creative approach to understanding the economic theories and personalities at the centre of the Global Financial Crisis. Mimicking the form of US currency, the work removes labels from common economic diagrams and portrays financial titans in repose as a way to express a personal and ambivalent experience of contemporary capitalism.
