Fire and Water series
Fire and Water Single, USA, 2016
The Fire and Water series is inspired by the relationship between opposing forces. Borrowing from the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi (the acceptance of transience and imperfection), the Fire and Water sconces reflect dualities in nature like that of the feminine and the masculine or that of the light and the dark.
The pictured Fire and Water sconce, cast in bronze from a single triangular fragment of burnt old wood, preserves the natural character of its source material. A curtain of horsehair dramatically descends from the base of the bronze relief and embedded LED lights emit a warm glow. My work presents a visual, elegant equilibrium between artifact and nature.
As I work on a commission basis, custom dimensionality and finishes may be requested. For more information please refer to the FAQs page.
