SC0.1

Titled SC0.1, this piece serves as the foundational prototype and structural study for the final, more complex SC01 / St. Chapelle sculpture. It represents a critical stage of the creative process—a tangible inquiry developed to resolve the intricate challenges of translating the grandeur of Gothic architecture into the medium of layered paper.

In this essential iteration, the artist tested the core principles of depth, shadow, and structural integrity that would be expanded upon in the final work. It was here that the initial designs for the window tracery were established and the complex layering technique was refined.

While the final version embodies a finished perfection, SC0.1 offers a rare glimpse into the project's genesis. It stands as a testament to the thoughtful exploration and technical discovery required for the culminating masterpiece, possessing a direct and elemental beauty that captures the first moments of an idea taking physical form.
