Icarus

Icarus

Through experimentation with cutting paper to create a three-dimensional form for a light, we discovered a structure with overlapping feather shapes that resembled a swan's wing. We made the form asymmetrical to emphasise this and to make it very dynamic.

As the light appears as a wing circling a light, the name Icarus seemed an appropriate reference.
