Midas’ touch
Wearable myth
transformation in motion
The work includes a capelet covered in the black armor plates. When the wearer chooses, they pull the tie at each shoulder and the black patina side of the plate fall and flip like dominoes and transform into a piece of armor that is entirely golden.
The piece was exhibited at the 2019 Society of North American Goldsmiths 50th conference, Aurum, during the Exhibition in Motion, Chicago, U.S.A.
