I’ve had this small Aperture that I made as a prototype for the Triaparator that has been kicking around my studio for a while.
Well, I’ve decided to turn it into a lamp.
Fitting huh?
It’s still has that raw, being-worked on look to it but it’s close enough to the final idea that I’m okay posting it.
The light source will go behind the small circle at the center of the aperture and throw light onto the copper hemisphere.
I’m going to use an LED for the light source. Normally, I avoid LEDs on old looking work like this, however, I’d like to sell this and an LED will last longer.
UPDATE (March 7th): I finished the lamp in time for the Five Ton Crane group art show opening on Friday night. The Flicker set below has updated photos of the finished lamp at the show. It will continue to be on display for the next three weeks and is for sale for $600.00. When I get a chance I’ll try to post an updated video of the aperture opening and closing with the light on. The lamp is adjustable, it can rotate and pivot.
