Isamu Noguchi, the great border-crossing sculptor of the last century, said that the art came from tapping into “the materiality of stone, its essence, to reveal its identity — not what might be imposed but something closer to its being.” He named this piece Black Sun, which might at first seem to be an imposition, until we consider the essential molecular nature of the sun and of stone. Molecules reduced to atoms, atoms reduced to negative and positive charges. As are we. 
We could spend words and days considering the materiality of story – or we could write. It was the sculptor Brancusi who taught Noguchi “you’re as good as you ever will be at the moment. That which you do is the thing.”
Please write from this black sun. Set a timer and work for 30 minutes, never stopping the flow of the words. Please send us what you write.
