things squared
I read a joking-but-all-too-seriously funny article not long ago about how Westerners spend 90% of their day staring at squares. All fake statistics aside, it’s so true. From the computer at work to the windows of our houses, we find comfort in the ease that four equal sides can bring.
what’s wrong with circles? well, they’re not exact by any means. I had an infatuation with triangles for a while, and strangely named shapes always interest me (not so much the form as the history), but you can count me in on the quadrilateral bandwagon; they’re just so easy and fun!
i would like to be a sculptor some day, and i would make all kinds of shapes. for me, i think square-ish shapes are an easy cop-out, but they can still be nice.
