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.

The Khrysalis series has evolved since it's conception. The Evolution has been around the types of bulbs being used. The original used an incandescent showcase bulb. Then came the
use of CFB which altered the original design.
The current evolution is the introduction of the LED bulb. The scroll stakes you through the stages.

The colors are somewhat limited and if you
look at the Bottleform page you can get a better idea of the range.

Enjoy!

Occasionally the filament of
the bulb flutters subtlely, much like the fluttering of a butterfly about to leave the chrysalis, thus the name.
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.
 
   
 

Khrysalis 2
with CFB

Each hanging light comes with a
14" swag cord and is 12.5" high x
3" diameter. It comes with a 5 inch
tubular compact fluorescent
bulb (CFB) that uses only 7 watts
to produce the same output of
lumens that a 40 watt
incandescent bulb would use.
Not to be used with dimmer switches.
This is a smaller version of the classic 3+ Stripe Khrysalis Light.
$126

Khrysalis 3 with CFB
$180

Khrysalis Table Lamp
sculpture/color block

  
The large d-light hanging lamp is approximately
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
