Wearstlerworld,
I take a lot of pictures for inspiration, but for that to really mean something I have to also scroll back through it… looking for things that jump out at me. Or, in this case, looking for something that seems to pop up again and again… the things I sort of subconsciously seem to be drawn to.
And for me, right now, it seems to be gold.
I never shy away from metallics, and within them there is so much to explore: how they pair together, how they gain patina, how they interact with light with such dynamism, and how really incredibly versatile they are.
Gold has never meant just one thing.
It has been revered, it has been divinity, beauty, and power, literally since ancient human histories and of course in so many great palaces, even through to something like the Art Deco Eltham Palace… yet, there is a version of gold that is both more humble and more radical.
To me, it’s got so much tension built into it… often sleek but warm-hued, strength in story but delicate in practice, it can totally envelope by only existing in details.
Let’s get into it.
