––   GOLD

​

Sometimes gold is prominent in what I make; sometimes it is only a subsurface scratch. It is a flighty, difficult material to use and is not widely used in the arts, but when I do so I use it as an emblem of secrecy, of palimpsests, of what I hope poetry still might mean, of old lost rivers at sunset.
