cast plastic, 20w compact fluorescent bulb, electrical fixtures, metal screws. Mounted to a metal fitting and screwed to a painted honeycomb aluminum base

This work is composed of a light fixture inside a large cast plastic orb. The plastic orb is slightly frosted, for most sides but it retains enough transparency that internal latticed green structure can seen internally. There is a small fully transparent window into this orb that reveals concentric circles of blue, grey, black and a red light at the centre. The effect suggests a sci-fi mechanical eyeball.
