Hand carved wood, chalk paint, wax finish, with patinaed steel base
25 x 25 x 150 cm
The Eclipse Lamp is an experiment in organic form and surface texture. The overall form was carved from pine wood, then painted with four different colors of chalk paint. A combination of colors and textures is achieved by sanding and scraping through the layers of paint to reveal hidden inner layers. Fished with a wax coating and patinaed steel base.
I dream of seeing two symmetrical Eclipse lamps framing the entranceway of a brutalist monument in a hazy rainforest.
