Kayla Taylor: Floating Architecture

Materials: Cardboard, black tape, black paint
Size: 14 1/2" x 12" x 29"

I cut arches in the cardboard to represent the Gothic style; the base of the sculpture is in a
triangle to represent the pyramidal shape in Egypt.

I glued many pyramids that I made out of cardboard and painted black to
represent both Egypt and Gothic architecture.

The final product contains elements of both Gothic and Egyptian styles: the pyramids
and triangular shapes for Egypt and the arches, black color, and taped windows for Gothic. I wanted to portray
angular shapes and combine them in a random, yet sophisticated way. I feel the creation of the Gothic windows
made the overall piece more successful and added more details. I wanted the lines to be very clean-cut
and sharp because the details that both time periods used were very important to them.
