lindsey adelman bubbles

Lindsey Adelman's lighting fixtures are like wild mechanical plants, sprouting from a ceiling or from the floor on a stem, with pivoting stainless steel arms, sometimes brass, branching off like in a classical molecular structure. The branches terminate with glass buds at the ends, each housing a naked electric bulb which feed off the energy coursing through the wires embedded within the branches and stem, blooming in a display of anti-photosynthesis at the flick of a switch. Sometimes, the light is melon-like, sitting freely on the floor with vines sprawling across it, alwasy ready t be plucked and transplanted to another location, perhaps a tabletop.

There is a quiet botanical beauty despite the use of cold inorganic materials. Each fixture is made to order and prices will ensure the farmer is well fed. The description of the 3-globe with naked bulb reads,"...add $1600 for each globe and $400 for each socket without glass."
