May Day like no other

Polyhedra Series - Intersecting Star, 2008
4 bills of foreign currency (Brazil, Zambia, Egypt, Bolivia)

Canadian visual artist Kristi Malakoff is a genius! I have seldom seen such beautiful paper-cuts and installations. These three photos are taken from her Maibaum series (2009), a life-size installation made from black paper, black foam core and hardware. Pure joy!
