Prompts = Build, Worse, Automobile
Henry liked telling the story. Everyone he met was an audience; the famous Emilie Ladakoskos, premier avant-garde architect (and younger sister of Henry), designing a car at four years old. It went something like this:
‘Emilie, what’re you drawing?’
‘An automobile. I’m going to build it.’
‘Out of popsicle sticks?’
‘Aluminum.’
‘And what are those? Wheels?’
‘Yes. They’re square because I like squares.’
‘But squares for wheels won’t work!’
‘Fine. Then how about this?’
‘Triangles are even worse!’
‘Go away and bother Mommy. I have to finish my design.’
Emilie became famous for incorporating unusual corners into her work.
