Empty Bowl
Torn paper, 22K gold, epoxy resin, 6.5 x 6.5 x 3 inches
Empty refers both to the physical state of the container as well as to the overall allure and attraction of gold. The visceral and organic aesthetic qualities of the bowl reference the human and environmental price of gold: to balance the traditionally perceived "beauty" of gold.
