We Made Gold Anyway (black)

€650.00

2026

Engraving on canvas dipped in Costarican clay

20.47 × 15.75 in | 52 × 40 cm

These works hold a sense of place, of Mississippi, of memory, of survival shaped by land and history. The fish, often understood as existing at the bottom, are reimagined here in motion, elevated, circling, and in quiet dialogue with one another.

Set against a surface that recalls earth, sediment, and time, the figures emerge as both form and memory, traced rather than fixed, present yet continually shifting.

There is a transformation at play. What has been historically dismissed or overlooked is not only reclaimed, but honored. Through process and material, the work reflects a lineage of making, of taking what was given and creating something sustaining, something meaningful, something whole.

In this way, the work becomes an offering of gratitude to Mississippi, to a history of survival, ingenuity, and the quiet alchemy of making gold anyway.


The work is currently unframed. Delivery details will be sent privately to each buyer.
Taxes, shipping and handling is not included.
