Vertical Columns

The vertical columns were alternative designs for an early commission proposal. The altarpiece is more horizontal than vertical so at first they might not seem relevant. However, the central portion of the altarpiece will have a strong vertical pull precisely to offset the horizontal character of the completely opened frame.

Using earlier ideas

One of the things that is going to be wonderful about this project is finding uses for images I designed in the past for projects that, for one reason or another, didn't materialize. I've found that when you revisit materials of this sort, they develop into stronger forms since they profit from all the work you've done between their inception and their reuse.
