The series RISING SUN, SETTING SUN consists of 27 serigraphs color, blue, yellow, orange, pink and red, each printed in one copy, from a same typewriter. The pattern drawn is a group of 8 balls glued and overlapped to each other and integrated into a carrond: 3 balls on a 1st line at the bottom, 3 balls on a 2nd line and 2 balls on a 3rd line.
A carrond is a fusion of a half-square and a half-round. Here its form does not appear directly, since its outline is invisible and only circumscribes the balls in space.
Why do we love sunrises and sunsets so much? I put forward the hypothesis that this meeting point, between night and day, sky and Earth, plunges us into a deep inner peace by connecting us to the cycle of life and our origin.
We are stardust, resulting from the explosion of a red giant which transformed into a supernova marking simultaneously its death as a star and the birth of our Sun. Contemplating SUNRISE, SUNSET is thus for me akin to feeling that we are part of a great chain of evolution.
