As time skids forward — dragging history, impressions and the things of these photographs — I have come to realize that the sword of the sun is the sharpest edge in the world. Sword of the Sun is an iterative project that exists as gallery installations and this artist book. The title is drawn from a short essay by Italo Calvino in the book “Mr. Palomar.” In the essay, the reader hears the internal monologue of an elderly man, Mr. Palomar, while swimming/drifting in a nameless sea at sunset.
