Screwed onto the wearer, and as beautiful to behold as difficult to wear, Golden Age Iron is a jewelry object that meditates on global currencies. Referencing (formally) the Dutch Golden Age of international commerce and (materially) austerity tokens known as "Berlin Iron," the cast iron cartwheel collar asks, Can we have our cake and eat it too?

Shown as Cake at Spazio Rossana Orlandi (2011) during the Milan Furniture Fair (Loaded, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago). On display in the Office of the Mayor, City of Chicago (2012-13).
