Mill

My second work with the "volumbing tapestry" effect. To achieve this similarity, you need to paste individual segments of paper strips very close to each other, alternating shades, achieving smooth transitions. To imitate woven threads, I corrugated each strip To convey the volume of the wind wings, I manually assembled each grid of strips of Japanese paper 1.5 mm wide. And the plot, of course, I carefully selected according to the symbolic meaning. The time of mills has long passed, but still this image has been living with us since childhood. The ancient symbol still keeps the secrets of heaven and earth. Millstones never stop, and this eternal rotation symbolizes immortality. The soaring and descending wings of the windmill, according to medieval interpretations, speak of God's descent to man and man's rise to God, the fall and rebirth, the cyclical change of times, world epochs The picture is in a single copy, exact repetition is impossible. The whole composition is made of strips of Korean and Japanese paper in quilling techniques. Visually has the effect of volume and style of the tapestry. Decorated in a white deep frame under the ester glass. You can put it on a shelf or hang it on a wall. Series of paintings "Lighthouse", "Mel" and "Bridge"
