My Gilded Cities project receives some thoughtful national media coverage

As part of a fellowship at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, I created Gilded Cities to explore the idea that the San Francisco Bay Area has become an enclave for the rich—unattainable to all but the most privileged. I covered nine utilitarian objects throughout the Bay Area (such as sewer plates, water pipes, and manhole covers—things associated with the basic necessities of life) in 23 karat gold leaf. 

This website documents the project and allows users to map the locations of the objects: gildedcities.org

The project has received the following media coverage:

San Francisco Chronicle

CBS National News
