The “Eye Chandelier” is 6ft wide and 3 ft in length. The
eyelashes vary in length, from 6in. to 1 ft 6in, for the middle upper lashes.
It is made of plastic, glass, and lead. The colors vary, but mainly consist of
black, white, tan flesh-colored, red, blues, greens, and browns. A red cord from the chandelier attaches
to the ceiling; inside the red cord are electrical wires that connect to the
bulb inside the eye part of the chandelier. The target audience for the
chandelier is a prominent science museum in a popular city. The inspiration is
of how the scientist looks at specimen and data to analyze. The “Eye Chandelier” creates that feeling
of being analyzed by a scientist, to make the museum visitor feel like he or
she is part of the museum exhibits as well. The eye, itself, was inspired by stained glass mosaics. This design would be one of a kind,
and be constructed for the science museum that commissioned it.
