Ceramic Standing Lamp (248/2023)

Carbonell's Ceramic Standing Lamp (248/2023) applies the visual language of his Light Mesh Cocoon pieces to a ceramic standing light sculpture, borrowing from previous forms while altering material details. Embracing a bricolage aesthetic, Carbonell constructs patches of ceramic latticework, which are then intertwined in a quilt-like pattern to serve as the lightshade of the piece. The result speaks to Carbonell's iterative practice; the piece serves both as a familiar token of his previous work and a meaningful advance towards a new mode of expression.
