concept
The exterior arms are supposed to be very organic and abstract. The interior form is supposed to be a kind of cage around the light source. The light hitting the upper points from below will hopefully create something like a candle flame effect. I wanted to have two levels of shade between the outside and the light source and really get the light to diffuse.
technique
The original shape was made by warping control points on a sphere into the pointed shape and polar arraying to form 6 spines. In the center is a hollowed oval shape with a hole in the bottom where the lighting fixture will go. I then all Boolean un
ioned it all together.
Materials
Two different colors of wood on the exterior sections probably achieved through stains. The six spines are a darker tone and the horizontal segments are light to reflect more. the interior section is Plexiglass slightly orange toned.
UPDATE: May 1, 2017
The pieces were laser cut and then stained before being joined together, I considered adding a gloss finish but ultimately decided that a more rustic look worked better.
