Field Notes on Weight and Light

Noguchi Museum — Edges of Stone

Cuts register force.

Material resists refinement.

How is the edge understood?
Stone edges are often expected to signal control or refinement, but refinement never fully takes hold. Irregularity persists. What continues is material resistance remaining visible.
