Somewhere above the rooms, under the slates, something wakes when the light goes. It lives in the attic, or perhaps in the roof of an old barn. Nobody has ever seen it by day.

These pieces are made in the same way as stained glass, only in three dimensions. Everything starts with stainless steel, cut into irregular fragments. Each piece of stainless steel is edged with molten tin and joined to the next by hand, leaving the traces of the gesture visible.

Soldering is a slow, physical process. The result is never completely even, and I have chosen to leave these small irregularities visible. The result is a form that appears fragile, made of thin metal fragments framed by delicate lines of solder. Each element supports the next, and the whole structure stands on only a few points of contact. The sculpture grows irregularly, like a branch or a crystal, balancing fragility and strength.

Two sizes are available. The small one is lower and more compact, holding one candle, while the larger one has wings extending from its body and holds three candles.

Both sizes are also available with recycled glass fragments, in amber and dark brown tones. The glass is broken into different shapes, each piece taking its own form. Every fragment is held within the structure by the same soldered edge. No two pieces are exactly alike, as the glass always breaks differently.
