Crafted during my Independent Study at Iron Mountain Forge and furniture in Providence, Rhode Island, specializing in metalworking for home furniture and lighting design, this light sculpture is completely hand forged and welded from steel rod.

Drawing inspiration from art nouveau patterns and natural forms, I wanted to manipulate a heavy and stagnant material like steel into something that feels visually delicate and ornamental; Commanding attention in whatever space it’s placed in.

Playing with the materiality of typical lampshades, and experimenting with how much pattern the lightbulb can reveal from inside the piece through shadows and soft illumination.
