Artworks by Canadian artist Ho Tam, inspired by the symbols found on money.
Ho Tam takes images from international bank notes and remixes them into new scenes, creating new meanings and new stories. Tam encourages us to rethink the meanings of the stories told on our bank notes with striking colour and unexpected combinations of many nations’ iconic imagery.
