The New Building

Dimensions
900cm x 300cm

The inspiration for this building is drawn from traditional fairground art, translating a decorative motif through a CAD programme to create a fully (virtual) three dimensional space; then reducing it again through the collaging of Fablon, to a subtle three dimensional surface. Fablon, Plain Frosted, is collaged onto both sides of the glazing to  capture the space of the building within the window. Window film is used to prevent you seeing. Here, it does both. It makes something appear, and obscures whats on the other side.
