Lighting Installation, Raku ceramic, Murano glass,LED.
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Sculpture- LampPRODUCTION OR REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY :After the modelling with refractory clay, I begin a deconstruction process of the traditional shape, a 20 day long drying process begins. I go on with the first cooking at 950 °C, the glazing process and the second cooking into a Raku oven at 940 °C. The object is removed still white-hot from the oven. Raku Process: during the “heat shock” the flames and the oxygen reduction method at 930 °C are decisive for both the “craquelure” decorative effect and metallic and iridescent reflections.
Arrangement of the LED lighting system and finally the insertion of the Murano blown glass tentacles.
