Interpretative ground texture

This is a memory drawing of how my gaze moved around the engineered path of Carlo Scarpa's Brion Cemetery, Italy in the autumn of 2018. It's a drawing that suggest scale (density of lines), movement (direction of lines), enclosure (darkness of the lines) drawn on top of a 1:50 plan of the site but records something other than the physical path. There is one dominant material (concrete) shaped around/for the landscape and the water.
My senses where activated through the tactility of the concrete which turned from ground to wall to roof, the water which swallowed the concrete and drew the eye to edges, the plopping of the fish in the pound, the dripping of water and the smell of green living within it all. For me, this drawing was an analytical tool for understanding the unfolding of an intensely meditative experience of space.
