bronze coin
2010
'Everything I Do We Do Together consists of a series of 50 bronze cast coins that I distribute individually when I feel someone has helped me in some way and I want to pay him or her back. The people who receive a coin are told to pass it on to when someone has helped them.' -Suzie Smith
