    CORONA (Socket Set) is a temporary installation for an existing pair of lanterns. The first lantern functions normally, but has a swarm of empty light sockets covering its glass. The second lantern looks burnt out because the inside of its glass panels are blacked out. Its light has been displaced to the ledge above the lantern’s windows, which carries a crown of votive lights. The idea behind Corona is that light sometimes obscures. We need an eclipse to see the sun’s corona. We need the opposite of luxe, like loss, to see the sublime.
