SUBSTITUTE TEACHER is a group show that we put together super last minute after one of our shows needed to be rescheduled. But we have an incredible line-up of artists ready to sub in and ship out. 👀 ✏️

Hi! We’re Rachel and Alex.

We share a home, a studio, and a practice.

Fool’s Gold grew out of the life we’ve built together and our shared interests in objects, food, architecture, place, design, and making. It’s a space to experiment, collaborate with artists and designers we admire, and explore ideas that don’t always fit neatly into one discipline.

Most projects begin around the table. Sometimes with a sketch. Sometimes with a meal. Sometimes with an idea that slowly takes shape over time.

The line between home and studio has never been especially clear to us. We like it that way. Fool’s Gold is a way of sharing that work with others.

Thanks for following along!

Big thanks to @alexgartelmann and @rayrayreichert of @foolsgold.world for including me in the show IN PRAISE OF SMALL THINGS WE ALL SEE at @esr.info along side so many amazing artists. Centered around the table, I immediately thought of old hoodoo or foot track magic involving stinging nettle, black mustard seeds and black peppercorns that, with the correct intent, can be placed under the feet of a table where people will be sitting in order to make them argue and fight. The vessel, a terrarium that I made a while back and recycled for the show, not only represents the mind of intent, but also revisiting a conversation with someone from the past and how perspectives change over time. Surprisingly to us all, the mustard seeds started to sprout and grow as the environment inside the terrarium changed. Thanks @alexgartelmann for sending me updates as things evolved!
