1990s-present
Themes / Lineage:
contemporary sculpture, mathematical form
Field Notes:
Curves repeat into plane. Loop replaces image. Form emerges from calculation.
Quiet Modernism appears here as continuity maintained through looping plane.

Plane as Loop

Hiroshi Sugimoto — Mathematical Surfaces

A continuous surface curves back on itself.

Closure occurs without seam.

Form circulates.

How does closure occur?
A plane is often bounded by edges, yet it curves back on itself. Continuity closes without seam. What continues is circulation sustained as form.
