Window Inspiration

For the back wall of the stage I decided that the design needed a feature that helped influence the idea of inside and outside space.

For this i decided to create a back wall of windows to allow for the space to be changed between inside and outside.

The wall of windows at the back came developed from the idea of Paris and religion. As religion was a big influence during the time The Duchess of Malfi was written I wanted to use church window to emphasis this.

Inspiration

Art Deco Inspired Windows from 1935

Gaudis Casa Batlló in Barcelona

Window for the Notre Dame in Paris 

My final thoughts for the window meant that It should be tall and strong but simple enough not to distract away from the costumes

my final choice was...

I have edited this window in photoshop to make it to the size of my window cut outs. 

Using acetate i traced over the line of the frame with Pebeo Cerne Relief which creates a raised blakc line. I then used watered down acrylic to create the stained glass. To add effect and age to the windows, i scratched off bits of the paint.
