LC0301

An artefact raised from the sea floor. An irregular trunk, a porous rough surface with runs down it, gold trumpet-cups grown into it like polyps — the object looks found rather than made.

Hanging strands with hundreds of sparks at their ends give a second light part: the trumpets throw directed light, the strands shimmer diffusely. Two lights with different characters in one object.

By day it is a biological specimen scaled up until it fills the ceiling. In the evening it becomes a reef in a diver's torch beam: you see only what the light has caught, the rest goes off into blackness.

Where it works

A horizontal format for long tables, generous halls with character, restaurants, private clubs, galleries.

Selection by space: Restaurant and bar

Style

Art Nouveau and natural surrealism: dark walls, antiques, collected objects. The message is discovery — a piece for someone who collects the unusual and is not put off by the strange.
