Crinoids are marine animals usually attached to the bottom of the sea by a stalk, and some of the oldest living species to be found. Seemingly, gold occurs naturally in the universe and is thought to have been present in the dust from which the Solar System was formed. Untitled, 2016 consists of a group of crinoid fossils gilded in 24 K gold, where the roughness of the primordial objects contrast with the shimmering patina realized through the gold leaf gilding process – two ancient materials forming a new object.
海百合是以一根茎状物贴附于海底的海洋动物，也是现存的最古老的生物种类之一。与其相似，金子被认为在太阳系形成时的尘埃中生成。《无题》（2016）包括一组24k镀金海百合化石，原始物质的粗糙与闪闪发光的绿锈的对比通过精细的贴金过程得以显现——两种古老的材料构成了一种新的物体。
