These sculptural lights have been made out of (1 mm) Corten steel. Their height is approximately 3,5 meters. For the design I got inspired by the German photographer Karl Blossfeldt; in his work plants and flowers look as if they were made out of steel.
Since Corten steel only can be bought in sheets every part has to be rolled or hammered into the right shape and dimensions. For me there is a basic resemblance with working with paper: cutting, folding and gluing it together.
Working as a sculptor the actual making of these individual objects is part of the designing: the last decisions about shape, angle and dimensions are being made before the final assembly.
