I don't have a special method of engaging with the extant. I let the space take over. With the resonance of its volume, with the light of the moment, which guides me through the space, with the touch of the washed-out walls or the smell that evokes stories from the past. This first contact is extremely important; it accompanies me throughout my explorations, stimulates my thought process, and stays with me while the first ideas are taking form. “Artifice” can only arise from this affection, understanding, and deep respect. On the other hand, thought is abstract; it brings a new time into the old and demands stepping back and forgetting. “Redress” can mean dismissing everything one has felt and comprehended from one’s mind, so as to arrive at something new.
Emphatic understanding and forgetting bring about a combination of close connectedness and creative freedom and direct us towards discovering unknown worlds.
