The Bank of England

letter_bank

I have been given to permission from the bank of england to make a £10 out of silver as part of my subvert the familiar project. I am looking at value and how money is simply a promise, the paper is only worth a few pence, yet our belief in it makes it worth far more. I want to create a £10 note from silver a precious metal (which the bank used to use as a representative of moneys worth) I hope this makes people question what they value as it will differ for each of us.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN







I can remember exactly what I was doing this time last year and the people i was around and i miss them a lot and i dont mind saying that although we shouldnt live in the past looking back occasionaly give us a warm glow inside.
Halloween this year was brilliant too, involving a dinosaur costume, much dancing a live samba band, broken glow sticks and many great friends :)

Stamps.

stamps

For a project called 'subvert the familiar' I want to look at money and how we could subvert the value of it, as at times in economic crisis in history the money is literally not worth the paper it is printed on.

Hyperinflation is inflation that is very high or "out of control", a condition in which prices increase rapidly as a currency loses its value and in countries experiencing hyperinflation, the central bank often prints money in larger and larger denominations as the smaller denomination notes become worthless. This can result in the production of some interesting banknotes, including those denominated in amounts of 1,000,000,000 or more.

The largest denomination banknote ever officially issued for circulation was in 1946 by the Hungarian National Bank for the amount of 100 quintillion pengő

I just thought this was all so interesting especially these stamps that as you can see it wasn't worth reprinting the stamps so they simply reprinted the inflated price on top of the old ones - Brilliant!

Good Friends

I went to London on thursday with Alice and we met up with our amazing Italian friend Niccolo and equally cool friend Nick from Minneapolis, It was a great day of wondering around Covent garden - visiting London Graphic centre and Magma bookstore and also grabbing a drink with my lovely dad and sister in Dianas Cafe :)
Later it was off to Brick Lane and the Whitechapel gallery where there was an exhibition on Sophie Calle which was so beautiful. Exploring letters and how people reinterpret these things. Then after a kind of strange curry where there was a weird plastic mannequin watching over us while we ate and Alice and I were squashed against the wall, but anyway it was good especially after a lovely pear cider before the train home. A lovely day - I love have friends all over the world :)
