Magic Hour.

In another lifetime I worked with film and I am still obsessive about the glow of magic hour…
I try to bring that sort of light to my metalwork, at every opportunity. I love contrast. I love making, by hand and with only a couple of tools, thrones for vintage plastic bits… Glass is lovely as well, and occasionally I do work with glass, but I’m forever in love with the jewels of our grandmothers and bringing them back into the light…
I love dark metal and vintage Lucite in various degrees of translucence… This piece is a matte finish deep tangerine. In this setting, with this contrast, it actually reflects light and appears to be lit, just a bit, from behind…
It glows.
Just like the earth during the warm flirtation of the sun’s angle at magic hour….
Magic Hour will arrive shortly, in my shop.…
