For these two paintings I used black ink because it was the blackest I could get out of all the painting and drawing tools I could think of without printing from a computer. For this I wanted to show the shape of the interior and exterior spaces of the house, classing the interior spaces as those with roofs, and all others are exterior. In doing this I discovered that the main courtyard really does separate the house and goes straight through the middle of it.
This drawing shows where all the windows and doors are in the house, and therefore where light can come in to the house, showing a gradient from these areas into darker areas of the house. Some of the windows are merely for access to natural light, not for views, like those for the childrens bedrooms look onto the large wall built around the house.
This model shows the outside walls of the house and has holes cut out of it where doors and windows are in the house, then some very light, thin material is pulled out of these orifices to show how many there are, and where around the house they group, like the courtyard. There ended up being so much material coming out of the house in the courtyard that that area ended up looking like an interior space itself, which was very interesting.
