28.19c is a cluster of nineteen 28 pendants hung from a round canopy. The cluster designation in this configuration refers to the tight spacing of the copper jack connectors at the canopy, and not the composition of the pendants, which are random lengths. The result is an ambient installation or field of light.
28 is an exploration of specificity in manufacturing. Instead of designing form itself, here the intent was to design a system of making that yields form. Individual 28 pendants result from a complex glass blowing technique whereby air pressure is intermittently introduced into and then removed from a glass matrix which is intermittently heated and then rapidly cooled. The result is a distorted spherical shape with a composed collection of imploded inner shapes, one of which acts as a shade for the light source.
