OBJECT DESCRIPTION
"This series fits within the tradition of printed provocations; each stamp fits perfectly on existing bills and encourages the idea, if not the action, of "changing money." The series began in 2016 when the US Treasury Dept. considered replacing Alexander Hamilton with a woman, a plan derailed, absurdly, by the popularity of the musical Hamilton. Who better to challenge the power structure exemplified by our paper money than RGB, the founder of the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project? ” For more info about the artist visit maliajensenstudio.com

Apple Pipe by Malia Jensen
$800.00
OBJECT DESCRIPTION
Apple Pipe is a life-size, fully functioning tobacco pipe that undermines and commemorates the original classic improvisation.
Much of Jensen's sculptural work relies on an alchemy between the subject, the material, and the act of making. For this series of objects, Jensen sculpts intentionally self-conscious representations of everyday things and through her play with scale and functionality, as well as her choice of material, she evokes the humor and intuitive insight for which her larger body of work is known.
