Lite. Light. Structure. Skin.

For project three, we were to design a lighting fixture using lite, light, structure, and skin for our inspiration.  With this in mind, I got my design idea from the skin of an artichoke and the structure of a knight's helmet.  I liked the look of the leaves as they overlapped each other, along with the inside of the artichoke.  I wanted to incorporate both sides of the artichoke, and by doing so I decided to resemble the structure of a knight's helmet allowing my panels to slide creating two alternative ways the light structure can be displayed.  This project was a bit of a struggle for me because I had never experimented with metal previous to this project.  I came across a few challenges while making my final product, but tried to work through it to the best of my ability and I learned a lot along the way.
