Gold's paintings seem to possess a strong regard for realism, yet they also raise questions about painting itself and its history, from the Romantic tradition to modernist abstraction. She sets in motion the construction and deconstruction of an illusory space, distortions of scale, and multiple perspectives. Gold's images occupy a dual state: they unfold a concurrent process of zooming in and out, enlargement and miniaturization, causing an unstable perspective. The work results in a discourse which goes beyond mere formalism, touching upon issues of identity and place: the individual painting becomes an open arena of change, of constant transformation.
