Home → The Architectural Experience

The Gan Or Series or Architectural Experience are drawings that document and express personal fantasies and feelings concerning the experience of building a home and studio in the desert. Gan Or means “The Garden of Light” in Hebrew. The works combine imaginative architectural perspectives and the open space of desert landscapes.

Drawing #23 of The Architectural Experience by Rita Deanin Abbey. A blue colored pencil background with visible strokes, interrupted at the top by a cloud encased in a light green rectangle. Underneath the rectangle is a thin, red line, which separates the sky from the building. A small section of blue rectangles divides the red line from the door of the building, which is an arched pathway down a long hallway leading to a window. The door sits on a red background, framed by a gray doorframe, with a black line cutting through it. A second, taller gray doorframe is slanted next to the main door, and leads to a room of blue lighter than the sky. This room has red lines forming 90 degree angles and a black 90 degree triangle.
