Color as Weight

Anne Truitt — Columns

Color accumulates density.

Saturation carries mass.

Weight settles.

What presses forward?
Color is often treated as optical or immaterial, but that reading does not hold. Saturation gathers density rather than dissolving it. What persists is mass carried by hue.
