The Design

About Archangel Michael Quilling

Archangel Michael é unha peza enmarcada que Niamh creou. A súa inspiración para crear esta Quilling do Arcanxo Miguel veu da súa nai. Cando a súa avoa estaba moi enferma, a nai de Niamh estaba no seu coche e a insignia para o arcanxo Miguel caeu do espello no peto cando a súa avoa faleceu e isto deulles toda a comodidade sabendo que estaba protexida. O obxectivo é crear un impacto inicial a medida que o espectador observa a peza, a partir diso atrae aos espectadores para ver os detalles implicados.

Design Challenge: The process challenges that Niamh came across when creating this piece was knowing when to finish it. Each and every strip of paper was individually cut and shaped and she found it was difficult to know when he was filled in enough without it looking bare in certain areas or adding too much to it.
Research: Before starting this quilling Niamh did research into what it is that best represents Archangel Michael. All of the elements and colours have been specifically chosen to create Archangel Michael as authentic as possible.
Inspiration: Niamh's inspiration for creating this Quilling piece of Archangel Michael came from her mother. When her grandmother was ill her mother was in their car and the badge for Archangel Michael fell from the mirror into her pocket as she passed away and this gave them all comfort knowing that she was being protected. Niamh created this piece for her mother.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2018 in The Aran Islands and in the end of April 2018.
Operation Flow: Archangel Michael is hanging at the entrance of their guest house to greet everyone that enters their home. The aim is to create an impact as the viewer observes the piece, from this it draws the viewers eye closer to see the details involved.
