One of the oldest forms of spirituality, alchemy, believes gold and precious metals are alive and living within the Earth. Any normal metal had the potential to become gold with the touch of the human hand. In the modern age of spirituality, crystals and minerals escape from the ground full of detail and inspiration, each providing their own message and energies. Alive with their own magic, these materials are the Earth’s way of providing us an escape into the otherworldly.

The world around us is full of mystic power if only we step back to take a deeper look. Inspired by landscapes at a bird’s eye view and focusing on the different colors of metal, Gilded Meadows turns the ordinary into something shimmering and full of life. With gold work embroidery creating the ebbs and flows of valleys and paint skins becoming crystals, this series encourages the viewer to take a moment to view each small detail and meditate on the Earth and the magical materials it creates.
