From angelic to demonic, ideal to grotesque, intimate to grandios cathedrals are able to achieve spaces that provoke a combination of awe inspiring kinesthetic, visual, and psychological effects. The dance of good and evil is aided by the battles of new versus old, life and death, light and shadow, releif and polished, height and weight. It is from these strange dichotomies that i have chosen to pair the angelic with the grotesque. This battle of form is played out through two types of cells both of the same origin. One heavy deformed and simple; the other light graceful, and ornate. Neither of which can over run the other, and when they do disease interveans. The final cell type is a type of infection that accompanies the unions of cells. The diseased cell type is the domain of people, a purgatory or place of constant change. These cells make up the interface between man an cathedral. Pieces such as benches, stairs etc. These are the necessary in space full of the elaborate.
