Cells in Relief

Experimenting with Bristol paper, I made several maquettes with the goal of an open form cell structure, each with the dimensions of a 2x2 cube. 

     

     

Once I established a form, I created a template in Adobe Illustrator from which I would create 16 identical cells to form a grid-like structure fixed to a bas relief plane.

     I then graphite transferred the template 16 times to be cut out onto two sheets of different colored Canson paper that I had previously spray adhered together, making them roughly the same thickness as Bristol paper for consistency. 

I cut the templates out and glued them together with Sobo glue. I then created an 8x8  bas relief plane out of foamcore board, covered in Canson paper, and adhered the cells in a grid on the bas relief.
