Borromini's church and the “Torqued Ellipses”
Visiting Borromini's church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome, he mistakes the ovals of the dome and the floor for ones offset from each other and conceives a sculpture in that torqued form. In his studio he builds models from two wooden ellipses joined by a dowel, turns them at a right angle to one another and wraps a sheet of lead around the form.
