Fred Sandback's work, an example shown above from an exhibition at David Zwirner, creates a memorable visual impression and experience out of such simplicity. Good to strive for that level of precision and trust in its impact.
Precision is neither necessarily additive (knowing when to stop) nor subtractive (knowing when to pull back). One could arrive there from either direction. It's interesting to think about occupying the very narrow range just over and just under the point of perfect demarcation, hoping to arrive, overshooting, pulling back, standing still in the clearing haze. And then, to think of leaping as far out or back as possible, disrupting any sense of eventual balance.
