ins
and outs is a sublime dream home. Steely grey in the dead
of night, manicured in the expansive landscape, trees in a
straight line, boulders placed decoratively for maximum effect:
it might be the retirement retreat of a Silicone Valley millionaire,
the kind of person who would bother to have their trees pruned
into perfect orbs, who'd insist that their sky be as delicate
as a Japanese watercolour. Raedecker's paintings are always
little seeds of gossip. Drawn to this house by the impossible
intensity of the light - made up of countless tiny pink and
yellow threads - the first instinct is that something suspicious
is happening within. |
