Sun Disc Number 105

A new sun every morning

Something renews itself every day without our having earned it: the light. The sun rises no matter what yesterday was, and with it comes a beginning, a chance to do some good and to pass love on.

Sun Disc Number 105 is made from that thought. On a disc fifty centimetres wide lies gold leaf, beside an ultramarine blue of rare depth. A layer of epoxy resin holds both, like water holding light. The gold is never the same tone twice. It travels with the day, with the window, with whoever stands before it.

Now I let it go. Letting go makes way for something new. From 1 to 24 December the price of this sun falls a little each day, from CHF 1,750 to CHF 500. And that is the game: any morning, someone may have been quicker than you. Whoever waits is rewarded, but he is gambling. Whoever comes early pays more and goes home certain. Every day is a decision, and none will return.

I am not selling you this painting cheaper. I am giving you a piece of my light. The only question is: when will you take it?
