The first sequence (above) consists of 17 tilted discs; in the second sequence (below) I removed some discs so there are now only 12, and they too are rotated; and last you'll find the upside-down version.
The shadow casting makes me feel like I'm in a jungle surrounded by tigers. Not really the effect I was hoping for. I thought the discs would simply diffuse the light, but instead they create really sharp-edged shadows. That wouldn't create a very soothing or pleasant lighting condition if it were a real luminaire.

i really like your new luminaire images. how the circles seem to unfold and spread out from the connection point makes great potential for lighting accents and shadows. i think it is a good start. i also really liked your first luminaire. the string that you used to contort and bend the form that you cut made such and interesting and organic shape. i can tell that you have been doing a lot of work with form z
i really like how the shadows turn out from your lantern. one suggestion about the conditions of the shadows: if they are smoother, the lattern might not be a bit lost?
