PRIMORDIAL LIGHT

This piece was made for a local exhibit centered around geology, meteorology, and astronomy. The overall body of the lamp resembles a sort of jagged pyramidal rock formation, something crystalline that formed naturally over time with various elements. I decided to use textured cathedral glass with earth-tones of green, brown, and blue, and black glass to represent space, and the icy-looking Bullseye Chopstix to give it even more of a crystalline appearance. For the accent pieces, I included a sheet of layered mica, sliced agates, and crystals, and the glass for the base has a swirling texture that is reminiscent of flowing geological patterns. As a result, the overall appearance is very organic, and the sublime, timeless, and inherently beautiful quality of nature is represented.
