Missing Pieces from A Fall of Corners #3
2015
Missing Pieces from A Fall of Corners #3 presents a disorienting architectural fragment suspended between sculpture and constructed environment. Working in foam, plastic, glue, and paint, Samara Golden builds a relief that mimics the logic of interior space while refusing any single coherent reading. Corners multiply and collapse, surfaces suggest walls or floors without committing to either, and the overall effect is one of spatial vertigo made physical. At a substantial 241.3 by 241.3 by 114.3 centimeters, the work commands presence, its scale insisting that the viewer negotiate their own position in relation to a geometry that offers no stable ground. Golden is known for large-scale installations that probe the psychological weight of domestic and institutional architecture, and this work distills those concerns into a singular object. The choice of humble materials, foam and plastic shaped and painted with meticulous care, underscores a recurring tension in her practice between the grandiose ambitions of the work's spatial logic and the fragility of its construction. There is a quality of the provisional about it, as though a much larger environment has been captured mid-collapse, a fragment rescued from an impossible structure. For collectors, the work offers a rare opportunity to hold a discrete piece from a practice that has largely unfolded in temporary, site-specific contexts. Signed and presented by CANADA, Missing Pieces from A Fall of Corners #3 carries the intimacy of a sculptural study alongside the conceptual ambition of Golden's broader architectural investigations, making it an exceptionally resonant acquisition from this period of her career.
