Using mirrors to create the impression of vast spaces, which she populates with handmade figures and objects, Golden presents installations that can range from seemingly chaotic to quietly seething. \u003ci\u003eif earth is the brain then where is the body\u003c\/i\u003e commemorates her 2024 eponymous exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center, for which Golden conjured a rippling, glistening body of water, filled with aquatic life alongside human figures and their detritus. Encompassing the fetid as well as the paradisial, her piece became a place where memories, emotions, and thoughts converge in possibilities including the oceanic reaches of the unconscious. This volume invites the reader into Golden's world, offering vibrant, detailed photographs, taken by the artist, alongside a wide-ranging, evocative essay by curator Catherine Craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samara Golden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Delmonico Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636812175","brand":"Delmonico Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486692466825,"sku":"9781636812175","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_82e29d23-511e-4169-aec3-afa7ed76eb0b.jpg?v=1775541507","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/samara-golden-if-earth-is-the-brain-then-where-is-the-body-9781636812175","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
