'36 Views of the Sun" - D.K. Pan
D.K. Pan - My art is often an investigation into the intersections of place and memory. For the Gold Wall, the project is entitled, 36 Views of the Sun, the installation is an arrangement of 36 12-inch convex mirrors which utilize un-contracted Braille to spell out “TIME IS MEMORY”. The title is inspired by Henri Rivière's 36 Views of the Eiffel Tower (which was influenced by Hokusai's 36 Views of Mount Fuji), referencing the 36 dots (mirrors) of the Braille sentence. The mirrors are acid-etched with images referencing alchemical/elemental/planetary symbols and the raised fist design inspired by Emory Douglas.
