87.26 is a random configuration of twenty six 87 pendants hung from a square canopy. The drop lengths of the pendants are randomized between a client specified range of heights to variously cluster and scatter. The result is an ambient installation or field of light.
A matrix of hot glass is stretched and folded back onto itself numerous times as it cools. Air is trapped between the folds and stretched along the grain of the loop, creating microfilaments that give the piece a pearlescent optical quality. A LED light source is introduced at one end of the loop casting light through the microfilaments and registering a gentle gradient.
