Pelagia lamp

This lamp series is made of brass, some have kept their original golden tones while others have been given a black patina. They are available in two different sizes:

Petite Pelagia - 30 x 14 x 14 cm

Tall Pelagia - 56 x 21 x 21 cm

Arrows

This framed sculptural series was influenced by various natural and man-made objects which I began to gather and assemble into decorative arrows and necklaces. Friends serendipitously also gave me small artifacts collected around the world, which helped to add to the story of each piece.

Most of the pieces in this series are between 30 x 20 x 3 cm.

Sea Spider Candle Holder

The Sea Spider Candle Holder is formed of a brass base that has been given a black patina, which holds a whitened spider crab shell.

I re-drilled some of the original spines of the shell in order to better let the light of the candle shine through.

When the candle is lit, hidden original orange tones of the carapace emerge.

Dimensions are approximately 33 x 13 x 13 cm.

Topographical Canvases

In this series I made use of organic and manufactured materials in order to realize a topographical celebration of natural patterns.

Dimensions range between 90 cm and 2 m.

Egyptian Vase

The Egyptian Vases are wall-hanging ornaments made of glass and brass. They are available in original golden tone or finished with a black patina.

Dimensions are 47 x 15 x 11 cm.

Tribal Fans

Honoring the utility of the traditional Mesoamerican and African ceremonial fans, these pieces are made out of dried bamboo leaves, plaster, gold leaf and seed beads.

Their dimensions are around 1 m large and long.

Alder Mushroom Vases

The Alder Mushroom Vases are made of glass and brass elements, whose original golden tones have either been preserved and polished or given a black patina.

The taller pieces can either have two or four branches.

The family of vases come in three different sizes: 85 x 15 cm, 30 x 12 cm and 25 x 9 cm.

Fossil Boxes

This series of Boxes is made out of various materials gathered throughout my travels. The use of golden tones is meant to enhance the contouring of certain objects, which otherwise enjoy a more subdued and hidden aspect in nature.

The approximate dimensions are 30 x 15 x 10 cm.

Hanging Candle Holder

The hanging Candle Holders, reminiscent of early monastic lighting are made out of glass discs and brass structures that have been polished or blackened with a patina. They are available in two different sizes:

Petite hanging Candle Holder - 54 x 16 x 16 cm

Tall hanging Candle Holder - 38 x 16 x 16 cm

Angler Fish Lamp

The Angler Fish Lamp features a large glass bell held in place by a polished brass structure.

It measures 52 x 48 x 24 cm.

Nassa Shell Ring

The Nassa Shell Ring is made out of polished brass. They are cast from small eroded shells found on the shore of Brittany.

Chest Ornaments

This series of Ornaments is made of various elements such as leather, brass, seed beads, rope and labradorite.

Vertical Sculptures

This series is made of various natural and man-made materials. As all totems, I imagine these sculptures as culminating in a celebration of nature.

The approximate dimensions are: 80 x 50 cm.
