Judy Langille is "Boxed In"

Boxed In by Judy Langille

From Art Cloth Network member Judy Langille

I visited an Italian palace built in the 15th century. It was constructed using 8,500 white marble tetrahedrons. Their carving and positioning created the light and shadows reflected on this building that I was so taken with. 

My immediate fascination with the stories within these stones allowed me to look closely and inspired this piece of 3-D work.
