Violet-Green Hinge is deceptively simple, and to me, it’s anything but minimalistic. The longer I look, the more I see the subtle illusion that makes it flat, but not flat. The kinetic tension of its back and forth spatial trick emphasizes the razor’s edge between emotion (nature) and logic (geometry). Not only that, it took me years to perceive that it also slips back and forth between being a hinge made of triangles and a two-toned upright panel. — Barbara Davis
