Definition of ARCHITYPE

1. a perfect or typical specimen
2. an original model or pattern; prototype

An archetype (pronounced /ˈɑrkɪtaɪp/) is an original model of a person, ideal example, or a prototype upon which others are copied, patterned, or emulated; a symbol universally recognized by all. In psychology, an archetype is a model of a person, personality, or behavior.

An archetype (pronounced: // (Brit.) or // (Amer.)) is an original model of a person, ideal example, or a prototype after which others are copied ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architype

Term whose earlier meaning, "original model," or "prototype," has been enlarged by C. G. Jung and by several contemporary literary critics.

'Archetype' defies simple definition. The word derives from a Greek compound of arche and tupos. Archeor 'first principle' points to the creative source, which cannot be represented or seen directly. Tupos, or 'impression', refers to any one of the numerous manifestations of the 'first principle' (Joseph Henderson, from ARAS Vol.1: Archetypal Symbolism p.viii). http://aras.org/whatarearchetypes.aspx

Week 4: Inspiration

Using simple string to map out the outline and shading of the letter. Cross-hatch is used to give it the deep shade of red. The outline is pinned down by pegs first, then red string is used to 'fill in" the lettering.

The block work is constructed from plaster to form the lowercase letter of 'g'.

Printed on paper first, then shredded into different sections so that it can be placed into different areas within the box, whether it is at the front or back to give it depth. Allows the feeling that it is floating. Maybe if a piece of mirror was placed at the bottom it would give it a better 'floating' look.

Created by using a scalpel to allow the lettering to leave the paper, make it look like 'door' effect - "opened".
