Stone carries place in its grain, weight and coolness. Resin, worked slowly, begins to hold light like something older. Copper warms, brass softens, iron keeps the trace of heat and hand.
Elemental Alchemy is shaped around this quiet transformation. Nature as source.
Earth, fire, water and air – drawn into form by human hands.
What begins as raw matter becomes object.
Object becomes room.
Room becomes the memory of a life lived.
Elemental
From the Latin elementum
First principle, primary substance.
Alchemy
From the Arabic al-kīmiyā
The art of transmutation.
Eight lamps from Elemental Alchemy have arrived.
Resin, shaped with the feeling of age. Travertine, cooled and cut. Marble, brass and iron, finished in deep burgundy, thyme and glossy black.
A home built slowly from objects like these becomes an archive of other places, other times. A way of collecting evidence of elsewhere.
