10 Stones — Fine Art

Ten stones sit in a quiet row on the paper. The marks are small and even. John Cage made this in his later years. From across the room the row reads as one line. Up close each mark is a separate shape. You can see the paper grain between the marks.

The fine art print uses a matte sheet. That keeps the pale tones soft and stops glare. A light frame on a dark wall lets the row stand out. A dark frame on a pale wall does the same thing.

It fits in a study beside a desk. From the chair you see the row of marks. From the door the line is short. The small shapes stay clear at that distance.
