Ely chandelier
This work, a large tapered chandelier of 59 blue blown glass pieces, is named after Ely Cathedral. The pieces are hollow but sealed. An integral hole, made during the blowing process, allows easy assembly. A dimple mirroring the hole helps with symmetry, adds refraction and hides the hanging hooks on the steel frame. Like stained glass windows, you see lines, diamonds, layers of colour, reflections and patterns.
