Would you (or any other forum member who feels the same) mind clarifying why you think so?
Is it the laser-cutting technology that impresses? The design and composition of the piece?
Or the expression "Hit it and quit it"? [I'll concede that does have a nostalgic Beavis & Butthead-style humour to it, like "Fรบck and chuck" or "Pump and dump", but for me it isn't amusing enough to hang on a wall.]
If my tone comes across as aggressive, that isn't my intention. These are genuine questions because I'd like to understand.
I myself don't really see the appeal of the artwork โ or, for that matter, most of Campbell's other laser cuts of US dollar bills.

Fair question...honestly for me, I simply love the aesthetic of his work...always have. I love the 3 dimensional feel and have always read some humorous irony in destroying money to create something beautiful to be sold and bought for a large sum of money and then hung on the wall (actually sounds like a discussion I've had with my wife repeatedly over the years). In this case, I personally don't relate to the "Hit it and quit it" language and as a result, wouldn't necessarily want this on my wall either. Overall, I simply appreciate the way Campbell's pieces are executed and (call me shallow) love the way they look. Sorry I don't have a deeper, more meaningful response. |

Cheers for the considered response.
And very fair comment regarding the ironic appeal of destroying money in order to create artwork, which in turn is sold for (presumably) an even larger sum of money.
