Cubist Eiffel Tower Sculpture
Tasked with creating a 3-dimensional sculpture that is based on a famous Cubist period painting. I searched through a lot of paintings to find inspiration. Where I landed was Robert Delauney's series of Eiffel Tower Cubist Paintings he did. They are fantastically strange and things seem to be somehow abstract and futuristic but also stable and strong. I chose my favorites of the paintings he did and attempted to create an actual structure from his original vision.

Finalized wooden sculpture - sanded and ready for paint
Getting ink - the painting process, it's a messy one
