Sarah van Sonsbeeck (1976)
Gold drippings # 1
2019 | gold sheen on ordinary float glass | 63 × 40 cm
Sarah van Sonsbeeck finds it interesting to create work that can be interpreted in widely different ways. She also has a knack for playing with words.
The dripping gold liquid in Gold drippings #1 and Gold drippings #2 is a mixture of gold leaf and dog pee. In 2016, Van Sonsbeeck exhibited her work in the gold vault of the Dutch central bank. Some people saw it as a symbol of banking instability. Others saw nothing more than a stain or the value that the material represents.
