I went back to Santo Spirito a few times this past week and still the atmosphere was different every time. I’m having a good time tracking the path of the shopping cart that is always in a new spot when I visit. Sadly my favorite drunken homeless dancing man wasn’t there this week. Hopefully next weekend he’ll be back.
Here are some new developments in my exploration:
I’m not focusing as much on the transportation aspect.
For the subjective drawing, I will be focusing more about roundness and round shapes/objects. For example, the bike tires, lamp posts, fountain, most of the church, some windows, coins, bottles etc. ( I won’t list it all now, it’s written down in my notebook). That idea feeds into my idea about female and male forms/lines in space. Female being the rounded shapes and male being the straight and angular. I am interested in how they work/fit together and are separate.
Other ideas still floating around my head:
Open/closed spaces/stores
The dirty beautiful things, as in how the last time I visited it was clearly pigeon mating season (a beautiful concept, i guess even if they arent the most wonderful animals on the planet..their cooing is cute) and it was also garbage day, stinky and loud. The collocation of the beautiful and the dirty or ugly is all too present in Piazza Santo Spirito and I am still working on a way to map it.
