Abstract
The phrase “All that glitters is not gold” refers to seemingly universal life lessons where visible perceptions of beauty and value are revealed as a façade. The phrase is also akin to golden, shiny metals, which appear valuable but are actually not as valuable – such as the misidentification of pyrite as gold. In this project, it refers to the imperfect connections between land, identity, location and belonging(s). It is a nod to the sparkle of copper in the project, a material that glitters but is not gold. All that Glitters is Not Gold... is also a reference to the name of the institutional space at Simon Fraser University, Goldcorp Centre for the Arts.
