I picked up Fiona Hall's work - When my boat comes in for finding some inspiration. This work was exhibited in the 3rd Auckland Triennial, 2002. Fiona Hall said that she want to unravel that plants can grow moneyin this work. In the past, plants and labor were transport all over the world through boat. Now, everything has a prize. In order to respect the contribution done by plants to the development of golobal economy in this work, Fiona drawed a tender leaf on bank notes. The black leaf looks as if the it is corrodeing to the money just like ink. The complex venation on black leaf was painted in gold and it contrasts to the dark. However, the whole picture looks harmony. I really like the color using in this work. It looks like some curio that can remind people's memory.
