Stacey Lee Webber’s Insurrection Bills are inspired by the hostility and rage of the 2021 insurrection at the US capitol building in Washington DC. These hand stitched bills reimagine the iconographic imagery found on American paper currency.
As a contemporary artist, Webber cherishes working with found materials whose history is physically evident. Her work is often described as meticulous, pushing the boundaries of everyday recognizable objects to the point of unidentifiable. Through material, she strives to make artwork that interests a broad range of viewers and challenges their preconceived notions of the objects that surround them.
