B&Q Fun

After a trip to B&Q and a chat with Leslie the light department man, I have all the bits and bobs to practise with projecting from a light bulb. After a chat with my mum however, we decided that it's probably best to let someone who knows what they’re doing wire it up considering my tendency of accidentally electrocuting myself.

While I was there I took a look at the more simple chandelier designs for the purposes of using as a frame.

    HI there
    Looking at your blog I remembered an exhibition I went to at the design museum on Zaha Hadid. She made this chandelier that was so beautiful and i thought of your laser cut. What if you could build a chandelier using the 'cut out' bits from a laser cutting? Like the exploded shed kinda thing, and you can be near it and not see anything but light and objects, but move away and an image of a sexual nature suddelny appears in front of you.

    and cornelia parker for the shed

    and another thing, a couple that make sculptures out of rubbish, and only at a specific angle can you see what it is, Noble and Webster's 'Dark Stuff' at the british museum last year:
