'In this series Philippe Van Snick departs from two intersecting curved lines. The space between the half arcs he fills with (0-9) color. Next, he extrapolates the form to a random decagon, which he dyes in the same colors. There are 5 gouaches for every colors, each one depicting different arcs and decagons.'

Why decagon?
a decagon is ten points connected
numbered (0>9) aritmetically I have the possibility of
working into infinity
the point generates waves
ex. falling stone in water
colors are diff. wavelengths
In the third dimension (object)
in orbit, the object (0-9) takes on different forms even the
most unexpected
