Brass, powder coated paint

2 parts, total: 8 x 8 in. (20.32 x 20.32 cm)

In the complete piece, Power, two crowns fit together to form a cylinder. The black painted crown’s shape fills the predetermined geometric pattern of the gold crown. Together, the two crowns integrate like a puzzle. Laying on their sides, they are equal. Both are formed out of the same raw brass sheet. When separated, value is determined, assigning a hierarchy. The gold crown’s shape is appropriated from the cardboard crowns given away at Burger King restaurants because of its simple, symbolic nature of a cheap corporate giveaway.
