Dag en Nacht Blokken , 1990
Installation , Each 21 x 21 x 9 cm
MDF, vinyl and acrylic

These blocs together form the work Dag en Nacht Blokken. The sides of the left one are blue, which resembles the day, and the other one is black, resembling the night. It's painted on wood. It's thick and monolithic, but has an interesting sense of fragility and the element of tenderness.
