This piece, entitled Correspondence, has such an appealing interconnection between its positive and negative spaces, as if we're watching or listening in on a conversation unfolding in words, or in body language, or in gestures. (I also love that my mother and sister are unconsciously mimicking these spaces in this photo.)
It was a delight, then, to see Lee's name again in the most recent Artkrush issue and read about his contribution to the Mono-ha (School of Things) movement (which aims to "simply bring things together, as far as possible in an unaltered state, allowing the juxtaposed materials to speak for themselves... and draw attention to the interdependent relationship between these things and the space surrounding them", according to the Tokyo Art Beat). And then, of course, his philosophical connection to artists like Robert Ryman and Richard Serra, according to Berswordt-Wallrabe's "Encounter with the Other," only futher elucidates his appeal to me.
I'm sort of in love.

so when i see the top piece i think of little quarks moving randomly. i may have just revealed how completely ignorant i am of subatomic science, but you know- little particles... of some kind... moving randomly. whatever the case, it's very soothing.
and yes, i love how your mom and sister unconsciously mimic the piece. very cool photograph.
