Working on another prototype of my vellum lamp, created some drawings this week and now trying to figure out how to put them together. I’m considering stitching them together first and then trying to cover them in water, maybe spraying instead immersing completely to check if I can slow down the process and make sure the ripping doesn’t occur so much. I’ve ordered the turning mechanism and hoping to test it on the first lamp, which is now hanging in my studio and potentially going to be used for the Workshop on the 1 & 2nd of December. I was drawing a nude male model with the idea, that it doesn’t matter what the drawing looks like as it will become a lamp and somehow, yet again, I notice that when I think this way I am much happier when drawing and the lines/shapes feel more free. I am not sure how I could use this techinque/way of thinking moving forward but it is something to keep in mind I guess.
