Gold clamp, babygrow; dimensions variable
Installation with peripheral text*
”As I was busy caring for my son, I sent this G-clamp to an electroplating workshop, paying for someone else’s labour and materials to plate it in a 3-micron-thick layer of 22ct gold. It’s holding my son’s first babygrow onto the solid industrial fabric of this building, where I have a studio, where I do my unpaid work as an artist, while I pay someone else to care for my son”.
*The text varies with each iteration of the work to reflect the context
