Thank God I have not had
the capacity to get excited squeezed out of me!
Yesterday, I had the enormous privilege of visiting the Aalto archive, meeting the kind and generous spirit archivist Timo Riekko. I had the opportunity to talk with Timo regarding my research objectives and viewed literally thousands of images that included sketches, travel sketches, drawings and photographs, focused upon the Aalto House, the Aalto Studio and Villa Mairea.
What an experience!
I have now on my hard-drive over three hundred of those images that I cannot share publicly for reasons of copyright, as is entirely appropriate.
I can however promise anyone who seeks an object lesson in process, intensity, looseness, over-drawing, under-drawing, drawing vaguely, drawing precisely, drawing for different audiences, drawing for self; a ‘show and tell’.
The image below is my own photograph taken in the Town Hall (in the public domain) but may give a hint.......
