Annie Kilic, Student Work, Architecture Relief

I chose to use Gothic and Art Deco Architecture as inspiration for my piece. I used a circular shape inspired by the rose window seen in Gothic Cathedrals as a starting point for my design. I then chose to cut out a design of a simple rose window, to resemble a stained class window using white and black paper. I then used white foam core to create the circular structure with black paper placed on top. I used pins and string to create the design over my rose window. I chose to use string because it is thin and can suggest the delicacy of lace. The repetition in my design is inspired by Art Deco.
