The last of the chandeliers. I promise.

Here is the final piece of my Junior year! I posted the plans for it earlier. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. This piece is made up of the porcelain pieces I worked on throughout the quarter and the top piece is made of steel I bent and welded. I was going to use artificial lighting in the center of the piece, but I could not find a proper location to set that up. With permission from my ceramics teacher I was able to hang it in the window of the studio, where it will continue to reside until I am forced to take it down. I actually enjoy the natural light on it anyways. My only wish is that I could make more to fill the entire span of the window.

So it Worked! Kinda. The water didn't fall into the large center cone like I planned, because the plastic was not tight enough. It ended up pooling on the side of the plastic and making a part of the piece collapse and spill water. I enjoyed the result though. The self-destruction was nice and gave the piece a moment in time to exist in and move on from. The materials used were porcelain for the cones, plastic sheeting, and fishing line. Check out the amateur video I posted to understand how it dripped.
