Been up to Haden Hill House this morning, the sunlight was just strong enough, coming through the haze to give effective light inside. There are some very interesting staircase images, the ones that lead up to the top of the house and the servant quarters, I think that I am not going to look to the very top, something about leaving it just out of sight. Most interesting corridors too, it is not possible to see into the rooms because of the placement of walkways, I like that, the mystery. If I stand still long enough, it is possible to get a sense of the people moving around, not in a ‘ghostly’ sense, but the memory of the essence of them, going about their business, the way we all go about our homes when they are quiet, private places.
On a technical note, the angles and perspective are tough, I am going to have to move from my 10x8inch format as well. This is how the small changes come to the drawings.
The house is’nt mine, or anyone elses I know, it is past, all memory, all of another time and of other lives. This is new for me, finding their existence and making it ours.
Waiting now for Rachael to get back this week and then we can get together and share our responses so far.
