‘When surfaces receive light, the light effects vary according to the angle of exposure. Selecting three distinct angles - 90°, 55°, and 35°- I had the walls surfaced using traditional Japanese shikkui (plaster finishing), which absorbs and reflects light most evenly. In the morning light, the shadows play freely over the surfaces, now appearing, now vanishing.’
Hiroshi Sugimoto, (Washington, D. C.: Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, 2006), p. 313
