Wrap Spruce Table Lamp is part of the Wrap Series, which explores what's left of objects after they've vanished. The tree branches coated in steel wire are soldered, and then the tree branches are burnt out of the cast.
The shapes of the finished pieces are determined not only by the wire-covering technique but also—and maybe more importantly—by the initial shape of each branch. For example, objects constructed of spruce branches spread broad and wild.
The various colours are also a reflection of the making process as well as the annual growth rings. To illustrate the technique, the inside has been lacquered rather than polished or treated.
