About the work
A Haze Blue plane and a deep wood-textured surface approach one another. At their meeting, a small curve and a narrow Ochre return become difficult to overlook.
The larger planes establish weight and direction. The joint changes how those weights belong together. Its softness carries through the whole image even though it occupies very little of it.
Close enough to notice
A trace of light follows the edge. Fine grain moves across one surface; the other holds a quieter texture. We can move between the material fields and the place where their different qualities meet.
The detail becomes a way of encountering the whole.
Where the idea began
Charles Eames spoke about details as constitutive parts of a product's experience. This work takes the material connection as a subject in its own right. It does not reproduce an Eames design. Read the Eames Office source.
