These two pictures are of my roommate's lamp and a print from the Bread and Puppet Theater's original art. I put one picture from the angle I see it from my desk, and then a picture of it straight on.
I have always loved how this picture was perfectly centered above her lamp. It reminded me of going to an art gallery and seeing a piece displayed perfectly surrounded by gallery lights. The beam of light is blocked by the shade of the lamp to create a ring that centered the picture in the middle of it.
It almost seemed symbolic also of the message of the art itself. It is print of flowers with the title "RESIST," as seen on the top in the picture. It is bold and outspoken, made with the intention of making others not fear being the same. The lighting is harsh, but this is purposeful to light the room. It is not intended specifically to light art. This is where I found it to be a happy accident. The art speaks for itself, but the light ironically enhances its message.
