Artist Commentary: This artwork is intended as a gently rotating, dimensional mandala. It has a baroque-upcycled aesthetic that playfully transcends the utility of the can-tab. The shape recalls a chandelier or and upside-down layer cake. Sparkling moiré patterns emerge in the hanging chains as viewers circumnavigate the art. One can experience the artwork as a sparkling, crystalline mystery from a distance, then as a familiar but incalculable marvel up close.
