Defining Space in Relief

     To begin, I found a digital image of an interior architectural space, particularly one with dramatic perspective. I placed the source image in Adobe Illustrator and traced the forms with the pen tool and white fill to differentiate positive and negative space.

     Using this Illustrator file as a guide, I created a three-dimensional interpretation of the image in regard to positive and negative space.

    

     I used illustration board and Sobo glue to create the 10x12 relief, which included a mix of convex, concave, angled and flat planes, with multiple forms and volumes in low and high relief.
