Luminary Box

The objective of this piece was to create a luminary device that used little or no power. I chose to use plexiglass as my material because it provided a soft light when illuminated. I focused on constructing a shell for the light to be contained in that would provide a descent amount of light while being interesting to look at as a structure. The walls of the box were constructed with two different types of plexiglass. One was opaque, and the other was completely transparent. I sanded the areas which were clear to create a textured pattern that would become very visible with light behind it. The lightbulb is contained within a smaller rectangular configuration of plexiglass, which completely disquises the bulb while softening the light. This inner housing also projects a square of light on the top side of the lamp when turned on. The cord is also hidden and contained in a small groove on the underside of the base.
