objects.
scale shifts from the landscape to the hand.
tools for living in the shadows.
fig 1. light displacement / soft mass.
object 01. plaster form.
weight without mass. the source of the shadow.
a quiet emitter. texture absorbs the light it creates.
fig 2. horizontal planes / material intersection.
object 02. table plane.
the communal plane. architecture for the table.
a heavy, shallow horizon. warm grain interrupted by cold stone.
fig 3. elongation / mechanical connection.
object 03. serving implements.
the deliberate gesture. elongated and weighted.
implements for shared handling. movement slowed by mass.
fig 4. tectonic fragment / raw vs honed.
object 04. stone weight.
the anchoring object. a fragment of the monumental.
honed geometry resting on a raw fracture. domestic gravity.
fig 5. internal glow / material density.
object 05. light block.
the time object. analogue illumination.
a translucent vessel. light becomes tangible; time becomes visible.
fig 6. tactile interface / grip mechanics.
object 06. threshold pull.
the threshold fragment. architecture made portable.
implies rooms without showing them. the heavy first touch.
fig 7. planar fracture / dark reflection.
object 07. reflective fragment.
the reflected void. reflection without vanity.
space appears incompletely. a fractured view.
fig 8. amplified gesture / material stack.
object 08. overscale switch.
the familiar gesture, amplified. quiet control that reads as architecture.
dark holds the weight. click becomes ritual.
fig 9. vertical cast / shadow definition.
object 09. oil lamp.
the ritual object. an anchor for the flame. a directional burn.
volcanic weight holding a living glow.
fig 10. vertical volume / earth containment.
object 10. Sicilian 19th century amphora.
the standing void. silence for the room.
a scarred, bulbous skin. sun-bleached clay darkening into shadow.
fig 11. eclipse study / indirect orbit.
object 11. oculus sconce.
light pushing against weight. a constructed shadow. the copper shields the eye; the stone captures the glow.
an ancient orbit. texture revealed by absence.
fig 12. primitive mechanics / static heat.
object 12. forge fire tools.
utility without noise. warmth insulated by the organic wrap.
heavy implements for the hearth. anchored in stone, waiting for the flame.
fig 13. vertical gravity / grounded reflection.
object 13. monolith mirror.
a heavy frame holding the image. the copper horizon erases the feet to anchor the body.
reflection interrupts the floor. dangerous weight against the wall.
fig 14. horizontal weight / geological stack.
object 14. strata low table.
beams piled like history. a raw basalt core to catch the heat.
copper keys lock the timber. low center of gravity. anchored to the ground.
fig 15. polished ruin / structural debris.
object 15. fragment bookends.
order held by chaos. the honed face touches the page; the rough face catches the shadow.
a copper vein mends the break. excavated weight.
fig 16. ceremonial landscape / elevated grain.
object 16. plateau carving deck.
a permanent altar for the knife. raised on shadows to float above the table.
the bronze gutter catches the ritual. heavy grain absorbs the cut.
fig 17. contained void / silent crater.
object 17. reservoir bowl.
a heavy vessel holding empty space. rough skin protects the inner glow.
a polished center to catch the ambient light. gravity in bowl form.
fig 18. geological compression / soft horizon.
object 18. cairn stool.
stone supports the wood. a wool layer softens the crush of gravity.
a monument to sitting. balance held by friction.
fig 19. architectural puncture / broken horizon.
object 19. ledge console.
a slab piercing the room. the honed top waits for objects;
the broken edge remembers the quarry. floating weight.
fig 20. vertical fissure / molten core.
object 20. rift floor lamp.
light escaping from the wound. a totem of blackened wood splitting open.
the copper vein reflects a hidden fire. illumination from within the dark.
