Edge as Image

Jo Baer — Minimalist Borders

The edge becomes a visual subject.

Contour gains emphasis.

Form is framed.

What takes precedence?
The edge typically serves to contain form, but that hierarchy shifts. Framing becomes visible in its own right. What continues is visibility sustained without decoration.
