"Tower"
This is an illuminated architectural piece. Its nascent image hovered in the back of my imagination for a couple of years until I was finally compelled to build it so I could move on to other ideas.

It features a beautifully sculpted rosewood base and structural details. The custom acrylic lens is covered with rice paper and copper highlighted wings. The back of the lens is covered with a quieter handmade paper featuring curved strands of sea grass.

Light reflects out the top and bottom of the tower, illuminating a copper element under the "roof" and the tatami mat that supports a bronze meteorite to the right. That same bronze sculpture is the touch control switch. This is a one-of-a-kind piece built as an exorcism and an exercise in different media, several weeks in the making.
