I got a lot of inspiration while doing this piece. I normally do a very oriental, symetrical design. The glass in a cube form on a wood base. But I tried to do something different, mainly because I didn't like how my first design hid the wood. I put the glass in a new configuration with a lot of empty wood space. The "kite" figure of glass and the "empty" wood space achieve a certain balance. The wood also plays a more prominant role. You can see the grain pattern. The mahoganny is also 2 inches thick. Heavy. Present. I think the result is interesting and opens a ton of new possibilities. There will be more "versions" of this lamp. I want to colaborate with a glass artist who can slump (melt glass into forms) and fuse glass. I was so excited I scribbled ideas on the wall just so I wouldn't forget.
I hope I win!
Feel free to order your own make out lamp.
Use it up, use it up. Don't save a thing for later.

Wow; it's been great catching up on what you've been up to lately Patrick. The lamp looks beautiful; I like the light ethereal colour of the glass contrasting with the dark solidity of the wood. Too bad I'm not one of the Judges; good luck buddy!
