Artist Statement

When I stumbled across Jan Wierix’s 1568 engraving of the proverb, "Because so much money creeps into my sack, the whole world climbs into my hole," via The Public Domain Review, I recognized how the truths of this proverb resonate today. I collage-updated the engraving for our current time.
