Contour as Volume

Contour as Volume

Brice Marden — Cold Mountain

Outline expands into spatial depth.

Edge thickens.

Volume emerges.

How does depth appear?
Contour is usually read as outline, but it does not stop at the edge. It expands and gains thickness. What persists is volume emerging from boundary.
