Overlight for former fisherman’s house in Enkhuizen

A former fisherman’s house stands on the Oude Haven in Enkhuizen. The residents wanted to have a dove applied to the skylight as a kind of family crest and a clover as a reference to their family names.

A pigeon just before landing on a bollard

Based on a sketch by the residents, I have created a design for a dove just before landing on a bollard. The coat of arms of Enkhuizen is displayed on the bollard.

Glued wood as a carrier for the dove

I glued the wood and then applied the drawing on it. So that the dove has, as it were, merged into the wood.

Result

 

The result is an overhead light where the pigeon, as it were, splashes out.
