The Lower Basket is filled with blown glass balls or “Satsumas” (a type of citrus fruit grown locally here in Louisiana) each has an iridescent or reduced crackle finish.
|
 |
The frame is constructed from mild steel (tig welded), with a copper plated-antique brass patina, and was constructed in my 4721 Freret Street Studio in New Orleans La
|
|
As with all my Lit Sculptures above 25lbs, this one is suspended independently from the junction box, this 3/16" thick steel plate is bolted to the directly into the blocking/frame.
|
|
The patina finish is the same on all steel surfaces.

One day I hope to own my owne machine lathe, but for now I use a drill press and then tap these steel balls with a 1/4-20" thread, this completed sculpture only weighs 170lbs, but we installed enough support to easly lift out a car engine...
|
|
Yes that is my 165lb fat a^% hanging from the installed frame. I repeat this test (ritual?) for each installation.
