  • Light Fixture: 5.5” x 5.5” x 10”

    Cord Length: 15ft

  • The AgarAgar Bioplastic Lighting series is centered around the creation of Agar Agar Bioplastic material that is then cast in epoxy resin and ultimately fabricated to become a new type of light artwork. Agar Agar is a substance derived from Red Algae. Along with other types of Bioplastic, Agar Agar is being used in many new forms of industrial and commercial plastics applications as a more sustainable source of material than traditional petrochemical plastics. Agar Agar powder is made into a workable Bioplastic material by combining it with Glycerin/Glycerol, Water, and whatever color pigmentation is desired. 

    Along with the Agar Agar Bioplastic being semi-transparent, the resin panes housing it are also transparent, allowing lightwaves to pass through the entire fixture and highlighting the aesthetic qualities of the preserved Bioplastic material. 

    The series was started out of an interest in continuing futurist material explorations of these new bioplastics in our everyday lives and artwork, showing new possibilities that can be achieved with them, and expanding upon the work of Bioplastics Artist and researcher Tiare Ribeaux. 

  • Each Light will be on a 15ft cloth cord unless otherwise noted. Please inquire before purchasing if you require a different length of cord. The wall bracket featured in some pictures is not included in this sale and would need to be a separate private commission through another artist’s metal shop here in East Los Angeles. Please inquire if you would like more info about the custom wall bracket. 

    This light is made with high-quality, dimmable LED lightbulbs that measure 7.3 inches and have a 2700K CRI95 Light Rating. Please note that the sale of this light does not include a dimmer switch. Additionally, each light will have a transparent matte finish, unless otherwise noted.

    Each light will have a transparent matte finish unless otherwise noted. 

  • It is recommended to not expose this object to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this could cause natural pigmentation and resin color fading over time. Extreme heat could also affect the structural integrity of the cured resin and other elements of fabrication.

  • Please note that handmade artwork may have aesthetic inconsistencies that are part of what makes each piece unique. While I strive to minimize any noticeable inconsistencies, slight imperfections are part of the reasonable expectation for all handmade work. Please keep this in mind before purchasing.

Alexander Kaye is an artist, designer and fabricator known for their object-focused creations that delve into both conceptual and aesthetic themes. Born in Southeast Michigan in 1989 to a blue-collar family, they soon veered towards a life of art and creativity ultimately graduating with a degree in Fine Arts in Detroit Michigan, 2003. As a multidisciplinary artist their focus of work includes experimental object artworks, sculpture, light art, sound art, conceptual art, and anything else that becomes a point of creative interest along the way. As a neurodivergent person with ADHD, their creative and experiential moments of hyper-focus over the years have culminated into an artistic ethos and style that is greater than the sum of its parts, and expansive in its intention and scope.
