Lindsay Adelman modeled Drop on the geometric rigor of Piet Mondrian, but the lighting system also harbors an element of spooky surprise.

Maybe this is personal bias—as one of our quick go-to Halloween decorations is styrofoam balls painted like eyeballs and jabbed into the ground on wooden stakes—but there’s something about Drop that evokes what one Shakespeare character called “the vile jelly.”

Imagine Adelman’s mini glass globes as spherical vessels of sight and you’ll begin to see the Halloween connection. But not to push the association too far… Drop also achieves Adelman’s aim of “finding the wild spirit within a seemingly rigid form.” Indeed, in the image above, the globes seem dynamic and animated, finding purchase on the thin tubes like songbirds fleetingly perched on branches. The below reminds me of the ebb and flow of stalactites and stalagmites, which offer their own brand of creepy ooze.
