Today I am looking at the solar powered kinetic glass Chandelier by Luke Jerram. These solar powered kinetic chandeliers consist of dozens of glass radiometers, which shimmer and flicker as they turn in the sunlight. Altering their speed with the subtle changes in lighting conditions, the vanes of each radiometer speed up and slow down throughout the day. The artworks have been created for exhibition at the Heller Gallery, NYC opening June 8th.

And, if you have seen Luke’s Glass Microbiology series, stop and take a look.
A big thank you to Stephen Richard, author of Glass Tips, for sending me an email to tip me off about Luke’s work.

Live it up and do something out of the ordinary for someone else this weekend. A small gesture can make a big difference.
Happy Mother’s Day and I’ll see you back here on Monday.
