Solid Gold! Prospecting with Mark Mcleod

Solid Gold! Prospecting with Mark Mcleod involved the “finding” of the world’s largest gold nugget in an abandoned quarry near Syracuse, NY. For this project I created the gold nugget from Fiberglass, steel, Bondo and roughly 15 combinations of gold paint, then buried it, dressed up like a prospector, and “found” it. The nugget is roughly 72” by 48” by 36” and is shown with 3 32” by 40” inkjet prints that document the find of the century.
