More Mall Folk, June 1997


On a snowy day and a freezing night this January I review a drawing from summer 23 years ago. The mall is the best place to draw people and what architects might call the "built environment." Here is a family having a soft drink and a snack as they wander or sit. They never knew they were being fixed in time and space in a two-dimensional sketch world. Coffee houses are good people-drawing places but malls are more complex and the participants are in more configurations and positions. I don't think my current sketches are any better than these older ones.
