Charlotte's Commission: Gold by name

Badges that are gold in name or colour (or both), but not in reality. During our discussions, Charlotte talked about ‘gold’, not as an intrinsically precious material, but for its warmth and lustre as a colour. Gold badges include (in no particular order): ceramic lamps, footstool from John Lewis catalogue, Laura’s work, jewellery advertisement, Chloë Sevigny’s hair, a Christmas card, coloured pencils and pastels, James Bond Film, “Siren” by Marc Quinn, a Mr and a Ms Gold, chocolate wrapper, fool’s gold, Lin’s work, a 1st class Royal Mail stamp booklet, lipstick case, hairspray can, paint swatch, perfume packaging etc.
