through ninety degrees, the torch in her hand shines across the
void; at the same time the fingers on her left hand are tapping
rhythmically (impatiently) on top of her ice-cream tray. The back,
front and side views of the cinema seating are fused onto the walls
of the void, becoming part of the fabric of the building. Safety

The line drawing is precise, yet not
quite technical. The torch light colour is to be decided. Proportions

of the line drawing and the glass panel divisions, echo the proportions
and qualities of a strip of 35mm film. |
