🌾 return to “life is a garden”

✰ notes from a sculptors world, isamu noguchi, foreword by r. buckminster fuller 

“In Japan, the rocks in a garden are so planted as to suggest a proterburance from the primordial mass below. Every rock gains enourmous weight, and that is why the whole garden may be said to be a scuplture, whose roots are joined way below. We are made aware of this ‘floating world’ through consciousness of sheer invisible mass. At times I am deluded into thiniing that the meaning of sculptures may be defined. Is it not the awareness of an inner reality, such as this, of which sculpture is a reflection and a sign? The heavenly bodies floating in the firmament are all connected, by gravitational forces that link them one to the other to attract and repel. Earthbound though we are, we are free to move about its surface, like filings on a magnet.”
