Carolina Fontoura's Recycled Chain Lamps

Such a simple concept, but a beautiful one:

These lamps are a sampling of Carolina Fontoura's latest works – Carolina is a graduate of Metro State in Denver, where my pal Jacob Welch teaches.  Carolina is a Mexican-Brazilian born artist who just opened her first solo gig, "Connect," at Mexico's Upper Playground gallery.

These lamps are all made from bicycle chain; Victorian-esque pieces of light brilliance.  Great work, Carolina!
