day two - thoughts on the temperature of rooms

the archive, conservation room and museum space are at a relatively continual temperature of 20°C and 50% relative humidity. Its cool and feels hostile to my advances, as I try to to get to know it. The windows prevent ultraviolet rays penetrating and the lighting seems measured, its sombre, in an effort to stem paper bleeding into dust. I look at old designs for wallpaper and think of shivering brittle bones.
