With my decorative
lighting, my designs and materials combine to produce a warm, unpredictable
light. The designs themselves evoke subtle memories - memories of comfort and
passion; memories of a bygone era. Modern and classic elements subtly combine
to create a timeless quality. As most of my designs incorporate the suggestion
of burning torches or emerging botanical life, one is most likely drawn to them
initially because of their natural balance and visual movement. Mere interest
gives way to fascination as one discovers that light literally transforms the
lampshade, producing dramatic shadows which accentuate and punctuate the
design. Further examination causes the observer to honestly question the
validity of their assumptions as they discover a WOOD lampshade uncharacteristically taking on a role
most often reserved for glass or paper! Perhaps they'll want to touch the wood
(just to be sure…), or perhaps they will be looking for the switch to turn
it on/off. Invariably though, childlike wonder is spontaneously expressed as
the observer accidentally stumbles upon the touch switch which cleanly unites
modern technology with age-old function. |
