Sainte Chapelle

Acrylic and shellac based inks on Ingres paper; book binding board
Stamped by artist on underside

A hand-constructed gothic spire created by two separate boxes. Both portions sit on individual plinths, and while the bottom has a flat lid for the second to rest on, the top box boasts a pentagonal spire which tapers to a point. The bodies of both boxes were first wrapped in a gray and black porphyry-inspired paper, and then articulated further through cut outs a two-toned pink porphyry-inspired paper. The spire feature of the box is wrapped in the same two-toned pink porphyry-inspired paper. The interior of both portions is painted gray.
