Here are some images of a chandelier I just recently completed. These shots were taken at Forgewerks which is my friend Andy's metal studio. The backdrop in these pictures is more industrial than the chandelier's new home. This illuminated ceiling sculpture spans nearly nine feet and will be housed in a round room just fractions of an inch larger than the piece itself. It weighs about six hundred pounds and contains one hundred individual pieces of glass; some with murrini, some cane, some silvered, and colored in a multitude of cool tones. To date this is the largest project I have tackled. I am excited to install it and get better pictures than these I am posting now. I am very pleased with the way the blown glass lighting elements and metal came together.
