This piece is an exploration in integrated lighting. I wanted the lamp to glow from within, so I created segmented sections separated by 5/16" solid brass rods spaced roughly 10mm apart. Crumpled tracing paper inside acts as a diffuser, softening the light and creating an inner glow.
It was an ambitious build and taught me a lot about articulated construction. I'll be refining this approach in future pieces.
Specs:
Location Found: 47°N 122°W
