This is an environment design for an entryway section of the Moon Garden just inside the Gate. I wanted to see the Glasswing Luna Moths in their place in the world. They are prevalent in this garden and specifically this region where the Moon Wytch has power. The Garden Gate was designed as a bit of a thought experiment about crescent shapes, snakes, and either thorns or the horns of animals. How could I use those shapes to create an elegant, stone-carved entry gate that could signify an important place? This garden needs to feel like a contemplative destination, peaceful, soft and pretty, but still like a part of nature- not completely manicured. The sculpture niches with the candles add a presence of the characters who take care of this place, as well as a softly religious or meditative tone to the space. I looked at Italian rococo architectural forms to create a basis for the design in our collective, known culture, but then explore and add some new shapes and forms. For the overall environment I created different elements and textures using the crescent and rounded shapes in a variety of ways.
