here is the church, here is the steeple, open your eyes and see all the people

for this maquette i wanted to rebuild a whole cathedral, not of any particular existing cathedral, more my own design. and see how far i could push it adding more and more detail. well i couldve gone further of course, but i didnt see the piont any more. i think the best structures are in some of the images i posted in an earlier blog. because though its not a complete cathedral the reference to it is enough. and the illusiveness is better.

the only conceptual thing that developed from my making the wire maquette was the way it cast a shadow, and was like a drawing with light. it was there, but not there. i quite like this idea. i think this perhaps has something to do with Derrida.
and if i was to show only the shadow, the viewer would know there was a structure there even though they can't see it

i like that it should hang just off the ground, i dont think it should be grounded.




































































































































so now i wanna make it big. im making it 5m high out of homemade 'rope'. i dont want it to be ridiculously huge like a real cathedral thats really overbearing, but big enough to still perhaps get some of the effect of a cathedral. but we'll see if it works. a personal size cathedral.

im thinking of the place to hang it.
inside a room -
outside, just somewhere random, or amongst the trees that are copying the same arch form
or half inside and half outside, so theres an integration of the binary

and im thinking of ways to create the shadow, and other ways to draw in light.
