Khrysalis Light Sculpture is an
extension of the bottle experiment.
Khrysalis comes from the description
of the visual you see when they are
lit and hanging.
They have an organic
quality with a mystical illumination.
Each comes with an 11-1/2" long x
7/8" diameter 40 watt
frosted tubular
incandescent showcase bulb.
Occasionally the filament of the
bulb flutters subtlely, much like the
fluttering of a butterfly about to
leave the chrysalis, thus the name.
The colors are somewhat limited and
if you look at the Bottleform page you
can get a better idea of the range.
Enjoy!

These hanging light sculptures are
an experiment in expressing what
thoughts may look like if we could record
that process of thinking in a quantum
state. The resin catches the light in a very
unpredictable manner and glows with
its own inner light. The resin is revitalized/
salvaged material that would have ended
up in a landfill
.
The hanging lamps create the illusion
of particles caught in space and resemble
the passion of moths attracted to a light.
The table lamps display the same
character, yet the planes which make up
the shade project the illusion of lightforms
floating in space.

20 " in length. The planes are multi-colored
translucent resin and the distressed aluminum
light source enclosure is 7" in length and is
4" in diameter. Each lamp has six hanging strings
of planes with seven planes on a string--which I call
"string theory". Each plane collects light and
gives the appearance of something floating
somewhere between dust particles in light and
moths dancing around a light. Above right-hand
photo is a detail. The large d-light is $750
The d-light shown
above is similar to its
partner on the left.
The example
shown above is
displayed in one color
which is seatone resin.
Small d-light (shown)
is $600
large is $750

the same.

is $600
