A hand-bedazzled gumball machine with a mesmerizing array of light colorado Swarovski stones stands prominently atop a gold-foiled cubic base. Yet, instead of the expected array of colorful canopies, inside are an assortment of plastic, doll size bread products. To emphasize the play on words of the piece’s title – a polished gold medal on a ribbon encircles the base, quite literally creating a visual reference to the term “breadwinner.” The shimmering stones encrusting (pun intended) the gumball machine also serve as a double-entendre, as a breadwinner in our modern lives is not viewed as someone who provides basic necessities for a household, but rather as someone with the purchase power to accrue more ostentatious symbols - cars, diamonds, etc. In other words – baguettes of diamonds as opposed to loaves of bread.
