I make lamps from woven steel strips. The strips are collected from factories who are going to throw them away. I first straighten them and then weave large sheets which later become the lamps.
Each one is filled with either a coloured tube bulb or filled with Christmas lights for the mosaic effect. 
The structures themselves can also be used purely as sculptures without any lights inside I have a couple in my garden nicely rusted.
Wow, I love the blue one!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever weave the lights / sculptures so the lines are cooked. ( not bent) just so it looks messy?
ReplyDeleteSorry its taken so long to answer...........er no I have only ebr woven them straight because they are made of steel which doesn't lend itself to organic shapes. I have tried to build a sort of ''slinky'' arched shape but it bends instead of curving......maybe a looser weave would work...........
