About this series
These bankers are from an ongoing series of votive figurines created with the declared purpose of "propitiating growth in the economy". The figurines are made of pit-fired clay and range in height from three to eight inches. This series was started in 2011 in association with the Occupy Wall Street moment, and the votive bankers shown here featured on pre-stamped postcards distributed at Occupy Wall Street encampments. These postcards were intended to be completed by members of the encampment and sent to various elected representatives. The series is currently focused on the AI moment.
