This is the eighth in a nine-print series examining figures of speech about money that use the same metaphor for both wealth and poverty.
Sometimes it's fun to visually remember that I work with a Japanese method of printmaking. When I thought of raking, I thought of the lovely raked gravel temple gardens I saw in Kyoto at the Mokuhanga Conference last summer.
I used my father's handwriting to represent poverty, as he came from a very poor family.
