Lawrence Hoo & Charles Golding - Jewels of St Pauls

This podcast explores the process of producing a new mixed media public artwork set in the ground floor windows of the Moxy Hotel, Bristol, by artists Lawrence Hoo and Chaz Golding. Four jewelled shapes are cut into the windows, overlaid with a poem dedicated to St Paul’s and its people. As the viewer peers in, a combination of lights and mirrors reflect their own face back through the artwork, situating them in both St Paul’s and the artwork itself. The gem symbol weaves through the piece, speaking to similarities in the ways both communities and precious jewels are forged through pressure over time.
