Flat pieces
Separate flat panels lie on the board. Their edges make the proposed wall and base geometry visible before it encloses any space.
Put the change
between two frames.
Choose two states and keep their complete views together. The difference may be in the outline, the meeting of the planes or simply the way a dark face meets a pale edge.
Proposed surface
Deep indigo covers the broad faces. A narrow terracotta-colored base strip and thin rim remain visible, keeping the color from becoming an uninterrupted block.
Between flat pieces and proposed surface: a flat arrangement becomes a tall indigo volume. The contrasting base and rim mark edges that were separate pieces in the first view. Read these as conceptual images, not proof of a physical making sequence.
What is the
comparison asking?
A useful commission question grows from a particular difference. Keep the two chosen states with the inquiry so the maker can see what prompted it.
Selecting two identical states is allowed; the reading will explain that there is no visual change to compare.
How visibly should the object carry the meeting of its separate planes?
