Light Time Silence m - E

A lettered variant within the Light, Time, Silence cycle, where the suffix m - E suggests this print sits within a sub-grouping or alternate state alongside the main numbered sequence. Yamamoto's practice of returning repeatedly to the same overarching title — sometimes through numbered editions, sometimes through lettered states — reflects the lithographic possibility of pulling related impressions from a single matrix or revisiting the stone with adjustments. The subject is presumably one of the artist's recurrent interior motifs: a wooden chair, a doorway, or the corner of a staircase, drawn from the limited vocabulary of inhabited domestic architecture that organizes the cycle. The print would be worked in monochrome on stone, with attention given to the cast and reflected light that anchors the title and to the spare compositional framing that has remained consistent across the series since its inception in 1992.
