The use of precious and delicate materials, like 24K gold, is central to the Hodges’ practice, allowing him to investigate its delicate and refined nature. Through a creative combination of sentimental title and mysterious subject matter, Becomes evokes a retrospective and meditative response, raising questions about recollection, temporality and existentialism. The work is comprised of four panels that reflect the same patterns of gold on linen expressing a radiating continuity seen in Rorschach tests.
