I spent many very happy hours and days there, drawing, trying to learn about light and darkness, space, volume, weight. And about something which is really hard to capture – the spirit of a space. I loved the peeling paint, the dark shadows, the feeling of age, of it having been there for hundreds of years and having earned all those wrinkles.
It was a very special time in my life – thank you for bringing it back.
