Description 
My attempt here was to create an assemblage sculpture that does not also function as a light source. While an interesting exercise, it made me realize how important the intersection of sculpted form and sculpted light are in the context of the overall work. Created in late 2007, it was the last sculpture that I created that doesn't somehow use light in context to the overall form.
