| "Berkeley poet Arnie Passman created a self-conscious Dollar, aware of its own dark past and uncertain future, in his text, The Dollar: From Death to Birth. The Dollar speaks of its mysterious and dark roots as it prepares for a final rest. Art Hazelwood, seeing a parallel in Passman’s writings and in his own obsession with the personification of moneybags and dollar bills has created an artist book that contains equal parts farce and monstrosity. The book cover incorporates the moveable head of the Dollar, which slides up and down devouring the various inhabitants of its domain. The one eyed Dollar–an American Cyclops–rampages through 500 years of history with all the savageness of the new currency on the block." (from Art Hazelwood website) | |
