Primeval Gold draws the eye to a trilobite fossil set at the center of concentric coils of longleaf pine needles dyed an antique-gold colour. Black stitching radiates outward from the fossil in a spiral pattern, creating a strong contrast between the luminous gold needles and the deep black thread.
Primeval Gold explores the contrast between ancient natural history and contemporary design. The trilobite, preserved for hundreds of millions of years, becomes the focal point of a piece built through the slow deliberate process of pine needle coiling.
