Chandelier, Fiber optic cable, LED, aluminium, W40cm x L120cm x H130cm, 2016
Lunare, which means “curve” or “crescent shaped”’ in Latin, is a continuation of artist’s curvature research project. It is a lighting series that features beautiful and subtle curvature formed in part by utilising gravity. Hand woven fiber optic cable strands were connected to LED lights to emit light. The artist then hung these strands into curves of varying lengths and allowed gravity to shape their final form. The strands settled into large and small curves, but as a whole they formed one large, natural curve.
Samsung Electronics sponsored the artist in his creation of Lunare with the latest LED modules and drivers required for this design.
