this is an inherent traction to light and being human. i think on a very deep psychological level, light has this way in which we experience the energy around us in a very personal matter. righthe founder of life knee on studio and we manufacture, produce and restorative neon works of art and design. this is the creative content a lot of work and it comes from a variety of sources, some people come with adobe illustrator asked of the design team to come together to create layouts of what it might look like and we great if every template. that they were template actually becomes our guide for what you bend the neon two.

o. theake the offices into glass shop. we pick out the right size tubing for the right size. from there we he up the glass tubing. glass ines heat the excess of 1000 degrees in order to get into its mold. we heat up and bend the glass tubing to match the template, one of our chandeliers has over 100 different bend in it so each one of those has to be marked for our events. we have two of -- allow -- we have to allow the glass to cool so it can he backed up and be molded. it turns into spaghetti and we have to make sure that that life back up to the two core in the template.

connect our mouths to the tubes and create a volume that is closed and we can control the pressure. there is just a variety of challenges that come up inherently in working with class. stress,n crack due to sometimes you would us have it and almost to do when it gets to it is just crack. do is crack.ts to then we have to go in and use the crossfire, the hand torch and weld all of those pieces together. then we weld electrodes onto either end. each step is very specific. this -- i dropped from 70 different experiences.

those things are subject lines that there is no way of separating in and out. you learn so much and continued to have so much by working with it, i find some of inspiration in working with it and i just continue to experience new and different things through the medium, it is that close to me. once the onto this completed, we have to look it up to our manifold for bombarding. the manifold is open, the vacuum is drawn, we checked the tube thoroughly with our tests. we closed the two back off and we heat it up using a very large and powerful transformer. up, ittube is heated releases anything that is not inert inside the two, we introduce the gap into it. tube of, ceiling into that tube, whatever gaps we

introduce into it. i think my favorite part of making the neon light is when i see it light up for the first time. this is different wavelengths of life. it is a very bright orange, fiery red. it creates some very intense blue but that light that is then produced can be a different wavelength by coating the inside of the tubes with the phosphor coating. it emits a different wavelength. we bring it over to the aging table where we all get up to an aging transformer and allow it to settle. there is always a stray particle of something left inside the tube. that time that the oxide coating can ask to scrub whatever's left inside the tube while things are getting settled into place.

once the tubes are aged in, we move into our process of assembling two halves of the fixture together and going up , oncenter of the fixture the adhesive drive, we would connect the wires from the fixture together into a transformer. then we turn the lights on. part of what we love about what we do is we try to put out into the world the kind of things that we would like to see, i that i amurprised excited when i see it illuminated. there is a quality to it. this is the inner workings of the universe, it literally is. it is a way of looking at what is surrounding tonight.
