Custom Claylight Chandelier
This custom Claylight light element is a site specific design for a double story space of a residential New York townhouse.
Designed and constructed in collaboration with ceramic artist Sharan Elran.
The chandelier is site specific element that interacts with several spaces - the kitchen, dining room, garden and second floor living room. Anchored by a channel bent at the radius of the space, it suports twelve hanging ceramic egg enclosures that musically play with the different levels. The Clay enclosures create both a direct utility light on the dining area below and a patterned drawing on the surrounding walls.
For more information visit our gallery page and the Claylight Chandelier Page.

Crossing Disciplines - Light
The Rubelle and Norman Schafler Gallery - Pratt Institute
200 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The third exhibition in the “Crossing Disciplines” series, an ongoing series of faculty exhibitions that explores themes shared by artists and designers in multiple departments of Pratt Institute, featuring the work of Pratt faculty members across all departments. Work selected and curated by Artist Keith Sonnier.
“SteamLight - Adjustments”
We were selected to exhibit our installation An assembly of 7 of our SteamLight wallmount lamps in an L constructed out of the edge points of a 9 square grid. The lamps are all identical, and are rotated and tilted differently to explore the variety of light pattern and conditions possible in through such adjustments and see the spatial implications such adjustments may hold. We placed a vellum screen which acts as the canvas for a “light drawing” capturing only the texture the lamps create and the view of the light texture drawing rather than the object.
