Host Ian Douglass speaks with interdisciplinary artist and jewelry designer Morvarid Alavifard about gold, freedom, the poetry and perils of materiality, jewelry processes and scales of value. Later, we discuss the symbolism of putting pearls into fire, destruction as creation, and the power of her installations of gold leaf rooms and staircases.
