PAIR OF LAMPS

I modeled the form of the concrete vessel for these oil lamps in a 3D modeling software, 3D printed it, and poured urethane molds for the concrete around the 3D printed pattern. I cast the concrete – one of the most basic of building materials - into the molds in small batches. The small imperfections and inconsistencies of the handmade concrete are what make them unique and interesting. For the wick holder, I forge a small bit of steel under my air hammer in a set of dies I machined. With a bit more fabrication and machine work, that forged piece becomes the wick holder and lid that screws into the oil reservoir, making it spill-proof. The entire reservoir/wick holder assembly fits snugly into the concrete base but can be easily removed for filling.
