The rosary style thorns are based on the classic celtic knot form.
There is still one element of the piece left to make,the cross at the end of the rosary.
This piece is my first attempt at using Copper Nitrate acid to alter the finish of the metal. This could become a useful process once mastered.
The piece in profile showing it three dimensional construction. It is built around a light sensitive bulb that adjusts its brightness to the room in which it is placed.
The story behind this peice is in this previous post.
