Wessie, I think this is the best piece of yours I've read, at least as writing. The ubiquitous and physical, rethought and rephrased and charmingly set forth. Serious, but simple and light -- a souffle, a swan dive, a Matisse paper cut -- is so difficult. Bravo!
One of my favorite kinds of analysis - chairs are so common that they are almost invisible, but they are a fascinating extension of (and concession to) our anatomy. I once bit off a bit more than I could handle with an early Substack piece about the ocean spanning designs of the butaque. In case it's of interest: https://open.substack.com/pub/faussettesq/p/hierophanic-object-the-butaque-chair?r=9ce7x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
I like this piece for its brevity, clarity and pertinence. Among an overwhelming deluge of words, it was a pleasure to read it!
