Morning In The Seventh

88” x 35”

Resin on vinyl on wood tiles and panel

I discovered this panorama photo negative in a small village brocante not far from Nantes. Marked only with the year (1971) and the description 7th arr., I was taken with the peaceful simplicity of it and quickly bought it for a few Euros. Back in Vancouver I scanned it at a ridiculously high resolution and got to work assembling this piece. The angled arrangement reflects the environment’s shifting light and brings the Parisian street to life as the day unfolds. Photographer unknown.
