Sergio lived with three other art students in Morgantown. In preparation for our arrival they painted the third storey from floor to ceiling a dove grey. Gauzy white curtains hung in the windows and the couch was covered in yards of grey canvas and wrapped in twine. A huge industrial fan sat in the corner and made the curtains move as if underwater. It was more installation art than decorating. We descended or rather ascended on a Friday. By Sunday morning the space was ruined. But it was beautiful and all the more precious because it was over so quickly.
It was worth it!
