Item Description/ Inspiration:
Light Fixture / 10” x 11”
My inspiration is in the natural forms all around us. My intention was to have the individual bent plywood pieces that comprise the shade of the light fixture giving apprehension to be connected and “pealed” out of the frame and forming the lamp shade. Thin strips of bent plywood are arranged in a spiral and random pattern. Areaware Plumen Bulb compliments the undulating form of the shade.
Light fixture casts a tempestuous pattern on the surfaces around it, lending an additional sense of texture to the spaces it occupies.
I believe that light fixtures should be interesting and beautiful whether the lamps are illuminated or not.
