Color as Interval

Mary Weatherford — Color as Interval

Distinct color zones are separated by consistent spacing.

Intervals organize perception.

Sequence replaces contrast.

What’s being tracked?

Color appears in separated bands rather than blended fields.

Relation is organized by spacing more than intensity.

What persists is distance articulated through interval.
