DescriptionOn a drive across southern Pennsylvania going to a friend’s farm, Ringwald saw a house being built on a hill. Its shape, proportions and window placement struck her, and she did a quick sketch. From that image Ringwald made three “House in Process” pieces, this one with brushed aluminum, one with tarpaper and one with cherry wood.
