Abstract
“Beach Lamp” is a mixed media lamp sculpture measuring 18” x 10”. This unusual piece is complex and made from objects found lying around a craft room. The work is inspired by living on the beach with a bright night light reflecting off the water. The figure poses as the queen of the ocean that has created this fun bright colored atmosphere full of random craft objects and materials. Beach Lamp brings you to a world of color and bright lights. With every little detail it invokes a bold expression of chaos, but it is organized. The Lamp reminds us to enjoy the little details when exploring a beach, to not take it for granted, and to recycle materials so they don’t end up hurting the ocean.
