As part of assignments about learning to draw, students were asked to pick from John Hejduk’s extensive collection of “Masques,” works of architectural theater populated by forms, in which characters were clothed as houses, so that actors spoke to one another like buildings in a city.
 
We were asked to pick up on certain aspects or characteristics of these masques and to project them using techniques of drawing representation learnt in that class.
 
The main masque here is The Studio. A lone, solid form clad by necessity, much like the tiny Manhattan studio I am writing from right now.
