This work initiates a conversation about individual value and our sense of self-worth. It explores how seeing ourselves in a positive light can increase our value as helpful members of society.
The work poses several questions: Can achieving our highest self be our maximum currency? Can everyday life be thought of as spiritual currency?
"Currency" consists of a series of paintings, 11x14. Each painting is a portrait with a coin drawn around it with the words of our familiar 1, 5, 10, and 25 cent coins....The words, "Liberty" and "In God We Trust" line the walls along with everyday extraordinary humans--and animals--for the viewers' contemplation. www.sylviamaier.com
As an artist and a person wedded to the idea of 'Self-actualization For All' I am so thankful that a friend shared the work of Sylvia Maier with me today!
