Made of money – the painstaking collages of Rodrigo Torres

Date
14 June 2012

You don’t get many people cutting up money what with the current (cue finger-apostrophes) “ECONOMIC CLIMATE”, but Rodrigo Torres is going for it, and the results are pretty spectacular. Like most of us, he’s realised how beautiful the patterns are that fill the banknotes of each country, and he has since set about collaging them together to make multi-layered scenes of ancient buildings, wild animals and the faces of those deemed worthy to be immortalised on cash. Beautiful!
