Statement of Helen Richardson, regarding a new door in the house she was selling. Statement recorded direct from subject, 2nd October, 2016

“There’s no left turns. Look, look, none, it just, it just turns right, it doesn’t make any sense no, it wasn’t a spiral because you could, you could always go forward, I mean, I – – I, I did mostly, just forward, and the paths never got shorter, like you were coming to a center, they just – kept going – it doesn’t, doesn’t make any sense! Look at it – “

“ The wallpaper was a different colour, though, I think. It definitely changed, but I never noticed it switching, I’d simply realize that it hadn’t been red when I’d been walking – or, blue, or purple, whatever colour it was at the time. All the colours seemed to shift in that place. Even the yellow of the carpet, the black of the rug, it… felt like I couldn’t trust my eyes. “

And the shot:

A bit late, but another Jonelias one from me! And guess what, I learned how to blend in digital!! I’m really excited with how this turned out, especially since my reference photo had a whopping big chair right in the middle (coving Elias’s right leg I might add). I’m still not really super confident on the proportions of things without tracing the lines yet but it’s definitely a step forward.
