Suzy Schireson writes about the painting Architect: Transparencies reveal the possibilities of form, mood and exploration in this invented world - a reminder of the importance invention holds in any process. The idea of “weaving a building” started with this image. An open edge is left between architecture and landscape, where a creative act starts to unlock the sky.
