Beach comber lamp
I love to collect interesting textures from the beach to take back to my studio to press into my vessels.
I work with porcelain because I love the translucency of the clay, and the way light travels through surface texture. These Rockpool lamps reflect how I feel when I’m in the ocean. Floating on the surface watching pieces of seaweed dancing in the water.
I arrange the textures to create a feeling of movement in water. And the pinhole detailing gives an impression of phosphorescence.
Each lamp has been handmade, manipulated into the standing vessel from a large, thin sheet of clay. I have several stages of rolling with the seaweed pressed into the surface first, then I add the texture using objects that I have collected such as driftwood, and pieces of urchin shell. After adding the pinhole detail, I then form the vessel.
Once out of the kiln the lamps are wired up to Australian safety standards by a qualified electrician.
Because the lamp is higher on one side, it will catch the sunlight to reveal the beachcomber prints in the daytime (see photo)
Handmade porcelain, fabric cable with cable switch fitted.
All electrics have been fitted by a qualified electrician to Australian safety standards
31cm H x 12cm D
