The true strength of a human made-or -found territorial oddity lies in its ability to make its presence felt when it is not necessarily visibly revealed. Cross the transept of a cathedral. Stand at the center of a dome and be able to hear every conversation in the room, no matter how far away. See where the Berlin wall was. This is the kind of presence of absence, the kind of strong, subtle and strange perceptual phenomenon I allude to in a drawing with/in space.
