About Artwork: California Gold is a recent painting from a body of work about tangibility and what we value as a society. Made from archivally treated LA Times newspaper sheets, with layers of stenciled spray paint and 24K gold leaf. I was inspired by the fact that physical newspapers are
disappearing, replaced by our ubiquitous screens and we are no longer getting our news from the same common place anymore. The first newspapers in the West were printed in the early 1600’s and ushered in the beginnings of the modern era, the beginning of modern parliaments and democracies. Before then, people got political news and updates from their parish priests.
In this painting I wanted to being together two things of great value, but in very different ways. The humble newsprint couldn’t be more dissimilar from the gorgeous pure gold. The newspaper is all about the mercurial political and material world, where as gold is associated with divinity, eternity and beauty. I think we need them both.
