Chandelier

More poetic metaphor then prosaic object, the "Chandelier" eschews the condition of emitting light for a desire to embody colored luminescence; matter in a plasmatic state. Gasious and electrically charged, it is the stuff of stars. Amorphous color is given tangibility by arresting its fluid motion in a concomitant relationship to curving, formal structure.
