Barbara Bestor's imagined 'house'
Here's the drawing that sprang out of the conversation between Bec, Ruben, Barbara and I. As a companion to the drawing, I thought it would be interesting to include some of the images Barbara gathers for her research and inspiration so they could flesh out the overall feeling of the piece. The images and ideas in the drawing are like birds fluttering around in a cage. As Barbara said, it is a marriage machine; a machine that ingested our conversation and created its own architecture with the ideas strung up like laundry on a line.
Barbara:
"I wanted to make a sort of machine made out of parts from other 'soft' architectural machines that the couple bring to the marriage: cameras, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gaudi and Man Ray.... So, it is a diagrammatic marriage machine..."
