This is the text I have included on the board:
my design statement:
By infusing several of my recent projects into one, I designed this light fixture. My design process began with inspiration from the orbital patterns of an atom where electrons follow various paths to form continuous circles. My piece abstracts that orbital pattern, forming the birdcage shape it is affectionately known for. Its odd yet structured shape allows it to have the opportunity to be placed in a variety of settings.
