Remembering an Emma Kunz study I naively embroidered during a month stay at Sasso Residency in Ticino, Switzerland, back in 2017. I bought her book when I visited the Emma Kunz Zentrum and the healing grotto she discovered, from which she created Aion A, a healing rock powder. I wanted to interpret her pencil energetic drawing with thread and explore an unfamiliar color palette. Eventually I was unhappy with the fabric I used and the unnatural tones of the threads, and lost this embroidery but kept some pictures.
I early on somewhat became unconsciously obsessed with blossoms coming out of the merge of polarities, which is -and I found out much later on- actually Goethe’s spiritually intuitive color theory : too much light doesn’t allow colors to emerge, too much darkness doesn’t allow colors to emerge either. Colors physically emerge where light and darkness merge. The danse of polarities creates movement and colors, life.
“However well we get to know the world, it will always contain a day and a night side”. Goethe
