Peer review: Tiffany Gholar, AB’01
“Shredded money. Could there be anything more paradoxical?” Tiffany Gholar asks in Recessionism (2008–09), a series of mixed-media pieces like the collage at right, made from shredded money on foam board. After ordering two five-pound bags of currency confetti—about 20,000 (former) dollars—from the Federal Reserve Bank for an art class, she reflected on money’s power and being “underemployed in a job market that has completely failed us.” The series, she writes, is “a reaction to how I feel about how the economy affects me personally.”
