This is the type of chandelier I found at a thrift store- I am sure you have all seen these from the 80's.

I re-wired and painted the fixture. I then created crystal chandelier strands in Photoshop and printed them on backlight film to create the drops.

My chandelier on display at Gentille Allouette in Gastown Vancouver alongside this amazing dress made from newspapers by Angela Bright. I was very excited as to how well the dress and the chandelier went together in conceptual styles.
Description

A surrealist interpretation of a classic chandelier
this piece has been built on a re-purposed lighting
frame.  Using <i>image strands</i> - prints of crystal
chandelier strands on acetate covered backlight film -
the viewer is invited to re-examine their notion of  
traditional lighting.
Unlike the inflexible chandelier, the versatility of  this
piece lies in its ability to be reinterpreted by simply
suspending different <i>image strands</i> from the frame.
Image strands can be customized to suit your decor,
mood or style preferences.
