White House Oval Office Exposed

White House Oval Office Bracelet from the “Fools Gold Gilt Collection: 2025 is also going to Schmuck 2026, Munich, Germany

The walls of the Oval Office have become increasingly covered by gold gilt, apparently to distract attention from an exposed grifter, liar, misogynist, and racist seeking adulation and idolization. Gilt on guilt!

From a new series titled, “Fool’s Gold Gilt Collection”, this bracelet’s oval shape is made entirely of recycled tin cans and tin can bottoms. On the outside of the bracelet, it  uses a fabulous vintage tin from the 1920’s/1930’s with a decorative embellishment similar to the fake embellishments Trump has added to the Oval Office.

The construction of this bracelet is a metaphor.  On one side you can see that the inside is exposed to the ugly inside….to expose the ugly truth of our current administration. The embossed reflective surface echoes the Oval Office carpet. The elaborate construction is open to reveal the inner metalworking and metaphorically expose the truth. 

This bracelet is sold but there are other bracelets in this collection. I will be posting images soon.

Construction of this bracelet

The construction of this bracelet was very rushed….so I didn’t take many photos. I was going as fast as I could to get this done as there was a photo deadline for Schmuck 2025 (if I wanted to try.) Totally amazing! I got into the most prestigious, international art jewelry exhibition with this and the Gold Card Visa Bracelet. These were the first two pieces finished for the Fool’s Gold Gilt Collection.

In this video, I am testing the reflective quality of the tin can. It is totally transformed. My idea was going to work. If you have the volume, you will hear me listening to the news. It might not surprise you that i listen to the news all day long. The current Trump administration keeps giving me ideas. Makes me sick.
