The recurring forms in this series have been described as celestial, recalling the phases of the moon or the trajectory of the sun. The circular forms in CXLIX could be perceived to emulate the orbit of a planet, or suggest the swing of a clock pendulum.
This comparison to the heavens resonates with Ore-Giron’s interest in pre-colonial architecture and how its scale and orientation was calibrated according to the cycles of the sun, moon, and stars. Ore-Giron also employs repeating step patterns in these paintings, which draw upon shapes found in the huacas of Peru, the pyramids of Mexico, and the adobe structures of the Southwestern Pueblo peoples.Exhibitions
