Weapon collages by paper craft sculptor Justine Smith.
Paper has always been a primary material in the work of Justine Smith. Her current work is concerned with the concept of money and how it touches almost every aspect of our lives. She is interested in money as a conduit of power and also in the value systems with which we surround it. On a physical level a banknote is just a piece of paper, but it is what a banknote actually represents that is central to Smith’s work. Through her collages, prints and sculptures she examines our relationship with money in a political, moral and social sense, whilst also exploiting the physical beauty of the notes.

“Everyone on the studio joined in for this exercise. We started off with a flat vector design, and then a few more versions, until it was in a form where we thought we could build it. Then many hours of meticulous cutting and pasting, until we finally had our baby done.”
