New photos of my latest series of light objects, made from humble local slate stone and solid brass. The solid brass rods are precision machined and fitted with bespoke LED units. The slate stones are cut and sculpted individually – making every object different in shape and configuration. I like to think of it as a serial production of unique pieces.
The local slate stones have been sourced in a quarry on the border between Luxembourg and Belgium. The region and its architectural heritage has been shaped by this local stone. Often seen as a maybe not so noble material, I was determined to use slate in a new and contemporary way.
I called the edition ‘Richard’, as a cheeky nod to the work of Richard Long, who has often used slate rocks in his installations and who I always admired.
