Penny

About The Artwork

In this larger-than-life reproduction of an ancient penny, Gadi gives life to this utilitarian object whose beauty is usually taken for granted. Decorative circular engravings in its fringes, a vase and ancient scriptures in the center meet the viewer face on, as his body is confronted with this enlarged object.
