Sarah Schneider – Week 2 – Four Walls

July 12, 2016

On the long and winding path back up to the house after swimming in the lake, we pass many strange boxy houses. There is something mysterious about these geometric spaces. I found a book in the Sasso collection called ‘La Casa Borghese nel Cantone Ticino’ containing interior images and aerial drawings.

These architectural elements are influencing the way I use space in the drawings I’ve been making.

The weather has been mostly warm and beautiful, and I’ve been going swimming in the lake everyday. Yesterday it was raining on and off, but I went for a little swim anyway. As soon as we got back to the house it started to thunderstorm, and we watched from the second story balcony. The clouds completely filled the valley, making the lake and mountains invisible. I made a pretty great audio recording as the storm passed over.
