Liquid Copper

The cycle of Ra

The sun disk; the rising sun and the rebirth of an era, named Ra is the originator of the ancient Egyptian pantheon. Fascinated by this mythology Rembrandt Jordan created three objects that may be appreciated in their own right, but are conceived from the outset as an ensemble of elements constantly in motion, like the cycle of life. The three related pieces are part of a family of related forms: Ra Rising, the Mask of the descending Ra and Liquid Copper.
