Inspired by architecture and structure, this project demonstrates how lavish, historic architecture can be reduced down to simple lines, whilst staying true to their decorative origins.
To start my research, I visited many public buildings (cathedrals, churches, museums) that held the styles of architecture that I am most interested in. At the forfront of my inspiration was Baroque, Regency and English Gothic periods. I collected many images from these places and started extracting the most interesting outlines and features to use in my design work. These drawings then morphed into wire test pieces - crucial to finalising my designs.
Through hand-forming each component of my final pieces, they reflected the hand-drawn quality of my earlier tests and drawings.
