Stone Inlaid with Metal Lines: Division Lines as Sole Decoration

The main wall is made of off-white travertine, with holes filled and a matte finish. The entire wall is divided into asymmetrical rectangles by embedded brass strips, 6mm wide and protruding 2mm, almost flush with the stone surface, appearing as a warm fine line only under light. The division proportions are deliberately irregular, with significant size differences, but all lines are horizontal or vertical, with no diagonals. The TV is embedded within one of the larger rectangles, its black screen becoming a dark element in the composition. The ends of the wall are finished with brass strips, directly connecting to the side walls. Oblique sunlight makes the brass lines shine. Avoid: brass strips forming regular, equally spaced grids, using highly polished gold, using a polished stone surface, or the TV being surface-mounted and not aligned with the divisions.

主牆是米白色的洞石,表面填孔後做啞光處理。整面牆以嵌入的黃銅細條分割成不對稱的矩形,銅條寬 6mm、外露 2mm,與石材面幾乎齊平,只在光下呈現一條溫暖的細線。分割的比例刻意不規則,大小差異明顯,但所有線條都是水平或垂直,沒有斜線。電視嵌在其中一個較大的矩形內,黑色的螢幕正好成為構圖裡的一塊深色。牆的兩端由銅條收邊,直接與側牆相接。斜射的日光讓銅線發亮。避免:銅條做成規則的等分格線、使用亮面拋光的金色、石材使用拋光面、電視外掛不與分割對齊。
