Tri-color Cathedral
My second entry into the 2020 Summer Joust! This time for the tri-color category. The three colors used here are light bluish gray, transparent red and transparent yellow. (That includes the flex tubing in the vaulted ceiling.)
My family took a trip to France last summer where we averaged one cathedral visit a day – around 15 different churches in all – and I've wanted to recreate some of the gothic architecture and of course the fantastic effect of the stained glass windows ever since. Playing with transparent parts and back-lighting struck me as the perfect way to capitalize on the color limitation of this category, so this was the first build I started on. For the sake of realism, the windows do in fact depict the Easter story, albeit in a very abstracted form by necessity.
Next up: collab entries! Which may or may not still be under construction, so wish me luck...
