Stacey Lee Webber⁠ Jackson Uncut Clown Town, 2021⁠ Hand-stitched uncut money sheet⁠ ⁠ Presidents and politicians are imbedded in popular culture: their faces are memorialized in history books, on monuments, and on currency. The image of Andrew Jackson, the 7th U.S. President, on the “uncut” (uncirculated) $20 bill, is that of a dignified leader worthy of a new nation’s trust. Webber’s painstaking and playful embroidery renders him a clown, suggesting a reconsideration of our reverence for public figures, both historic and contemporary.⁠ ⁠ staceyleewebber⁠ 21cChicago⁠ #21cPopStars⁠ #21cMuseum
