Artist Statement:
The Aquatic Carnival chandelier
pushed boundaries in modern contemporary flamework. The main
concept has been done before with larger mediums and I wanted
to attempt to make this piece out of flamedworked borosilicate
glass. I started with the structure. I used clear glass to make
a webbed like cone shape that points towards the floor. Then
I created 200 blown organic shapes that would be individually
attached to the structure. Once finished this custom lighting
project took on a very nature shape and form that can be enjoyed
from every angle.
We all live in the The Aquatic
Carnival. We make up the pieces of the Aquatic Carnival... we
are similar at a glance, but when you get up close we each have
so many unique qualities. Each piece in the Aquatic Carnival
might look similar, but each is one-of-a-kind in its own way.
On their own, each piece is special but the true beauty comes
when they are all together, creating The Aquatic Carnival. |
