2025. Improbo Cœptis is a radio-controlled mixed-media sculpture in the form of the pyramid from the back of the US one dollar bill.
The slogan “Improbo Cœptis” is a play on “Annuit Cœptis” seen above the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill. “Annuit Cœptis” means “he/she/it [presumably God/Providence] approves the undertakings” while “Improbo Cœptis” means “I disapprove the undertakings”.
This piece was created as a float for the Fremont Arts Council’s Petit Troll Mini Mardi Gras parade, where it won one of three gold medals handed out based on audience applause.
Improbo Cœptis is on display at the Lynn Hanson Gallery Juried ICON Show 2025.
