If a picture is worth 1,000 words and seemingly money is the most pressing thing in life, while poetry stimulates the mind’s passions, then they all join hands to look at the extreme imbalance of wealth affecting society today. Based on a central pen and ink, the mural is broken down into components and stitched together with poetry. The imaginary setting is a pandemic of the One Percent of the US population that has accumulated half of the world’s wealth and explores this on different levels. While the author supports the need for change, he focuses on leaving the readers free to make their own choices by casting their votes in democratic elections. While the mural is set in the United States, it applies to much of the world’s political policy. He also encourages further debate on a more equitable model for the preservation of resources and the suitability of human presence on Earth. For many years the author was an Architectural draftsman and found greater pleasure in drawing friends and the many different things he encountered while traveling. Rather than following the trend of computer-generated drawing in architecture, he dedicated his time to creating wooden sculptures and developed his unique organic architecture using all manner of natural materials. Recently he has also written a book titled, 'The Stories from the POPOL VUH' featuring 50 of his charming illustrations with the stories arranged for all reader levels. This ability to use the simple materials of pen and ink has influenced his work in political dialogue and he has ambitions to use these skills for further political statements.The ’Money, Money, MONEY’, is a cartoon mural that is a light-hearted romp across the US political landscape with many comments and poems in which the author hopes to influence us to work together to protect our physical world and create more equality. The reader will find the original drawing with about 30 detailed illustrations of characters of the 1% representing BIG TECH to Big Meat and APEZON to THE TRAMP with layers of poems and comments.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family.

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
