Watercolor to Model Interpretation
The next iteration from an abstract 2D painting to an abstract 3D model. The painting:
The model:
The model was designed and built on the concept of ambiguity. Each piece appears either as in the foreground or background depending on how the model is oriented. The main armature was conceived from the rectangular prism located at the center of the painting.
Model to Watercolor Interpretation
After a discussion during class it was found that the model (below), like the original Ben Nicholson Painting, was about objects being ambiguous about their placement in space. Ambiguity in this sense means it can be viewed equally in two ways. The Model:

ingrid siliakus: paper architecture
