Interview: Samara Golden ‘Guts’
Step inside the shimmering, mirrored universe of Los Angeles-based artist Samara Golden’s work Guts.
Created in 2022 and partly reflecting the artist’s experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, Guts is an extraordinary essay in beauty, turmoil, anger and pathos. Evoking the stratified layers of class in America as well as the layers of a conflicted mind, the shelves in the installation also reflect Golden’s desire to create, in her words, ‘an impossible space’ – an interior whose fractured and vertiginous perspectives evoke the contradictions of contemporary life.
