To Light - Matteo R

TO LIGHT - Matteo Ricciardi

    I struggled with coming an idea for to light due to my location. I rent an apartment and that restricts me to only doing grounded art pieces. So my plan is to do a light that is radiant and bright enough to fill an entire room. 

Idea #1: 
    My ideas have been heavily influenced by the cast irons sculptures we viewed in class. I also re-visited some of my photos I had taken in Italy of Milan cathedral. My first idea is to make a gothic room light. One that you can place in the corner of any room and get ambient light.


Sketch: The top cage will be forged. The legs and body will be fabricated and the body should hold the electronics.







  






Idea #2:
    My second idea is to a simpler room light that has more of an industrial style. I want to do an exposed bulb that is surrounded  in by either a geometric or organic metal cage. I also may diffuse the light with some canvas or paper to help keep the light from being to sharp/blinding. 

Sketch: Similar to the first idea, the body and legs will be fabricated while the cage on top will be a mix of fabrication and forging.
