I viewed the drawings as motifs, without thinking of their function as documentation for the construction work. I distanced the drawings from their original purpose by selecting segments, changing the scale and finding a new physical appearance for lines.

Even at that time, I may have thought of painting frescoes. I now realized them as individual paintings, covering their surfaces with subtle shades of colours and engraving the motifs from the drawings by hand.






The original detail drawings were made by hand on sketching paper with pencil. For the frescoes, I searched for an interpretation of the strong yet frail combination of pencil and sketch. I realized it by engraving the drafted lines by hand on the plaster surface of the frescoes, using a scriber. The engraved white lines are like a negative image of the pencil lines in the sketches. At the same time, they are an echo of the seams between the LECA blocks.
