Zoo Award - 2005 Winner

2005 Winner

Danic Phelps was chosen as the winner of the first John Jones Art on Paper Award at Zoo Art Fair for her works 'Getting My Money's Worth' and 'August 2005'  

In 2005 the award was presented to artist Danica Phelps for her work ‘August 2005', a graphite and watercolour on re-cycled US currency. Represented in the UK by Ritter/Zamet gallery, Danica catalogues her daily expenditures and daily activities over time. Using an elaborate diagrammatic system, she documents every financial transaction - where each dollar is represented visually by a single stripe of watercolour: green for incomings, red for outgoings and grey for credit.

The work selected at Zoo Art Fair 2005 is on display in our exhibition space at John Jones and an exhibition of Danica's recent was held at John Jones in October 2006.

Our thanks to the 2005 selection panel:

Katharine Burton, Christie’s
Mary Doyle, The Drawing Room
Danny Rolph, artist
