Bone Chandelier April 2007

Welcome to my newly installed “Bone Chandelier”. It is a U.L. listed kiln fired glass and copper plated steel chandelier that is 36” round and 42” tall (chain not included) for a private residence.
There are 18 individual “bone” arms that make up the upper section, which is illuminated with 3 100watt “chrome” bottom bulbs; the lower light cavity has 3 150watt incandescent bulbs.

ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!!!!
Warm regards,

Section from my Sketchbook 542 x 768 pixels (173 KB) 0 Comments I respect the work of Dale Chihuly, and am grateful he (and many others) have laid a strong “foundation” I can build on; but my work relies on design principles of the “Arts and Crafts Movement” Begun by Ruskin + Morris in 1860's. Open and read this pic.		Original Drawings 336 x 442 pixels (31 KB) 0 Comments I may respect Chihuly, but approach glass differently. I embrace the “C” (craft) word, including chandeliers, and insist all of mine are lit from within. I give my glass a job; it diffuses light and uses the “cathedral effect” to invigorate space.		Bone Chandelier rendering 318 x 448 pixels (43 KB) 0 Comments I also see the metal frame as not something to be hidden, but accentuated. It is the skeleton or structure that defines the shape of the piece. Please go to my “Satsuma Baskets Series” on this site to see what I mean.
U.L. Listed Chandelier 336 x 442 pixels (39 KB) 0 Comments The frame is just as important as the glass, and I design it in conjunction with U.L. code 1598-section 7.2 to be safe, and have easy access to change a light bulb. Orson Wells said it best: “The absence of limitations is the biggest enemy of art”,		Window Glass 360 x 480 pixels (46 KB) 0 Comments Except for a small blown glass ball at the bottom of the dome, all of the glass is kiln cast and slumped from ¼” “float” glass plate from Mexico. The yellow color is from silver, and only comes out when light is transmitted through the glass.		The Blue and Green 336 x 442 pixels (42 KB) 0 Comments Silver also makes the green and blue colors when light is transmitted against the glass. Think of a cathedral with stained glass windows; the glass is best viewed inside the church during the day, and outside at night.
Color pallets 336 x 442 pixels (52 KB) 0 Comments As this glass site is mostly used by lampworkers (look at the top 100 galleries), they understand this color technique best. Window glass has a color pallet similar to that of borosilicate glass, while stained or blown glass is like moretti.		For once, and easy install... 336 x 442 pixels (44 KB) 0 Comments The lower kiln cast and slumped dome rest on 6 points, and attaches to the upper frame. Each of the 18 arms, simply rest on two points on the upper frame. This was the easiest chandelier instillation I have ever done…		Projected light and space 336 x 442 pixels (31 KB) 0 Comments The “cathedral effect” projects light to invigorate space; in other words I design work that puts glass in the right place to do its job. If I do my job well, the chandelier shapes and colors will be projected onto the ceilings and walls.
Go to katybeh.com 336 x 448 pixels (31 KB) 0 Comments I designed this work to fit its intended space; notice the Jeff Stollier painting in the background, I used this for my texture and color pallet. As to my research on subject matter, let’ just say it’s very Katy Beh go to: http://www.k...		Lite and light 336 x 442 pixels (35 KB) 0 Comments It may look heavy, but the finished chandelier weighs in at 38.5lbs. A dimmer allows the clients to adjust the light levels from EXTREEMLY bright, to low and subtle ambient glows of yellows, blues, and greens.		Support? 336 x 448 pixels (26 KB) 0 Comments I love making art/chandeli... but I am also looking to do a show which explores Gulf Coast imagery, and draws attention to the loss of our coastal wetlands.

These rock!!
Love the chandeliers. Cool designs, different from the copies of a certain someone else we all know!! Which is hard, everytime I try and piece a light together it looks like a Chihuly and I trash it!!! Good work!!
