LIGHT

 We celebrate light by adorning it and arranging it.........creating shades and bulbs and fixtures.  It is a beautiful tribute to light itself. I thought of these two lights, for I feel these creations have attempted to make light more beautiful and have succeeded.

Birgit Ostergaard

Birgit Ostergaard's lights have a such a heavenly quality to them.  I picture them as glowing beacons in our harsh urban environment.  They guide the lost and give them peace. Well, I am not sure that they can do that, but they are just beautiful!
