Here's a detail of the transition from cable to wire to porcelain. Each
wire is bent and cut to a precise position to ensure an even distribution
of 'thorns'.
One of the effects that I like most is the way the flat backs of each
thorn describes an interior cone form that seemed like an invisible skin
just beneath the porcelain.
Because of the length of the wires, the porcelain vibrates with the
slightest touch or movement of air. It shivers when you gently poke it.
