Gothic arches project

I have been thinking of making these arches for years, after being inspired by an artwork I saw back in South Africa. The work was built up to create depth, with lights cleverly hidden somewhere in the background that gave the work an atmospheric presence.
This is a short documentation of my own attempt with a slightly different approach. I used pics I took in the beautiful cloisters of the Palais des Papes in Avignon because of their awe-inspiring size and the way light streamed through the meticulously carved arches. The three layers of my work will create depth of perspective and right at the back, a strip of minute lights will hopefully bring a sense of celestial mystery. Enjoy!

Wow my maat. Jy het voorwaar 'n oog vir detail en hierdie is vir my ongelooflik mooi en uniek. Ek kan nie se dis een van die mooiste nie want jy het so 'n verskeidenheid van talente in kuns. Maar welgedaan Antoinette. Dis 'n masterpiece!!!

Plesier vriendin. Jou harde werk, deursettingsvermoë en om nog student, ma en vrou te wees, behoort enigiemand inspireer om hoër te vlieg.
