plastic rope

these are the first experiments of my trying to construct arches with plastic sheet.


in the later ones ive put a wire centre to hold it in shape, it can still be a little flimsy though, but i think it should be ok becuase when they are all joined together it should be more stable

-the rigidity is better, when i get back i wanna make it in fibreglass
-the detail is important, especially the rose windows, but i dont just want to rebuild an entire catherdal

and then: i wanna try out some video and stage lighting stuff, and make up a storyboard for my superdupercool video. i see this plastic cathedral as a large maquette mainly for the purpose of being able draw from it and do a few stage lighting tests that i couldnt do on a small model, so ill try not to make it flop, but if it does a little it doesnt matter too much.



i can definitely fit some more detail in this rose window, but we'll see. i think this could cast a really cool shadow, but i'll to play around a bit.

I'm going to hang my arches in the garden outside, there is a nice path in a cross shape with a circle in the middle so its perfect.
