"In Hartford - yet another American city where the promise of urban renewal has soured, leaving the too familiar cityscape of empty lots and shut-down businesses - Diamond has installed ten Money Holes. On parking meters, where time and space still sell for such minuscule amounts as to be affordable, she has framed the question of our troubling era: Where does the money go? In Diamond's lethal shorthand, the current monetary calamities are reduced to a deadening sameness, a relentless series of inescapable black holes. Like economic obituaries, the Money Holes define and commemorate the times with an exacting dread." Susan Morgan
