Cloth Pegs Luminaire

at Inabstracto

began as a luminaire built from cloth pegs and a metal frame for Inabstracto on Queen Street West, Toronto.

Over time it stopped emitting light and became a dark sculpture — an object that holds shadow rather than dispersing it. Now it rests in the backyard woods of the Byrd House in Baltimore held in shade beneath the giant pear — an improbable companion, tender, monumental, and strangely grounding.
