Matthew Monahan's *The Benjamins* is a visceral sculptural work that melds raw industrial materials—foam, wax, drywall, and wood—with the charged symbolism of an embedded hundred-dollar bill. The figure or form, built up through layers of pigment and wax, evokes a sense of excavation and erosion, as though currency and flesh are caught in a state of mutual decomposition. Encased behind glass, the work frames the seductive and corrupting weight of wealth as both relic and ruin.
