Two States of Life - Gold and Silver
24 x 48 x 6 in each . Plaster, gold/silver potal leaf, crushed glass, resin . 2025 . Diptych
This diptych is dedicated to everyone who has ever felt the full range of themselves.
Not the highs and lows. Not the good times and the bad. Gold and silver - two states that are equally luminous,
equally worthy, equally alive.
Gold is warmth, movement, radiance. Silver is depth, stillness, cool clarity. Neither is better. Neither is wrong.
They are simply two ways of being fully human - and most of us live in both, sometimes in the same day.
I made these for the person who has ever felt guilty for not always being the gold version of themselves. This
work says: the silver is just as precious. The quiet period is not a failure. The introspective season is not
something to fix. It is something to live through fully - to learn from, to draw strength from, to emerge from
knowing yourself a little better.
These two jellyfish are mirror images of each other - same form, different inner world. That is not a flaw. That is
the whole point.
Available individually or as a pair. Together they tell the complete story.
