Make Lamp with branches - Collaboration

It is a lighting made by a sculptor, done patchwork used natural dyed Silk Dupioni Organza. The sculptor is interested in dead branches therefore this work was done using them. She, the sculptor, had seen my natural dyed silk by chance and then suggested me that made a work together. I gave him my patchwork which might harmonize with dead branches well so he made the lighting with wood. The Silk Dupioni Organza was very good to make the lightings because it is naturally irregular in texture so makes more gorgeous with light.



The sculptor tried to bring the dead branches to life covered natural silk on it. The colors from natural material matched well with the branches. The Silk Dupioni Organza what I used was also 100% natural silk. Thus, all of materials except a part of light were given from nature.

Patchwork pattern was expressed well reminding of another dead branches in order that the sculptor's intention .

The feature of the Silk Dupioni Organza

is showing variety of appearance
by the location and the intensity
of the light.
Of course, all kinds of see-through fabrics
have the same feature of it,
but the Silk Dupioni Organza can't be
compared with artificial silk organza.
Because it is silky naturally with glossy
effect. From it, the beautiful changing color
has created.

She insisted fabrics dyed 100% natural materials without chemical changes and that was an excellent choice to reborn the dead branches as the lighting.



I found out that how important is the finished product not only concerns for dyeing and pattern. Bringing to this work, I'm considering of collaborations with more craft artists, lighting & interior and curtain designers who have attention to my fabric.
