7R15 Where R=Ryoanji — Fine Art

7R15 Where R=Ryoanji - 1983 by John Cage sits on the sheet with marks you read first from the doorway and then from a chair in the same room. The work uses chance methods in the way John Cage worked, so the marks follow no set pattern.

The frame is black, and that dark line keeps the marks clear against the paper. This is a fine art print, made to stay flat and hold the ink without shine.

On the landing wall near the stairs, you notice the uneven spacing first, then the lighter parts as you pass by. The black frame edge stays sharp even when the light changes in the afternoon.
