Heart-earned Value
What is the value of art or a good idea executed?
Why do we value certain things more as a society and ascribe less value to others? Art is often subjective, but our love for money, or at least the acknowledgement of it as a guarantee of value, is almost universal.
Heart-earned Value contains 4x S$2 Banknotes presented in the form of an origami heart, while the watercolour like background of this piece is done with colours carefully extracted from the $2 (purple) and $10 (red) notes in the Singapore Portrait Series Notes that have been used by the artist in his daily transactions.
This piece belongs to a series of artwork where the artist explores the use of physical money as a medium in the creation of art, to convey specific emotions and messages through the interest it garners, while searching for a way to make use of the guaranteed value of money, a vehicle to measure what the value of a good idea is, when executed in art form.
Great care has been taken in the execution of these art pieces in order to preserve the integrity of the notes so as to ensure that the material value of the art pieces is immediately visible to the audience.
After viewing each of the pieces, the audience will be invited to indicate a dollar value to each of these pieces, from which we would then ascertain the ‘appreciation’ in value from its original material existence.
