Shackle Me Lamp
Splashes of color wind around the five-pointed base of Shackle Me Lamp, set in contrast to the diaphanous pleats of the shade above.
Reincarnated skateboards form the base and pull, below a brass stem and folded polypropylene lampshade, held in place with a 3d-printed resin fitting. The shade is a piece of complex origami, scored and folded from flat sheets, without the use of glue.
The base is intricately carved to reveal the brightly colored maple plies within a given stack of skateboards, making each lamp completely unique. Their action-packed former lives have marked these boards with evidence of loving use - including occasional small chips - which are filled to leave a smooth final surface. Wood is sealed with a food-safe and solvent-free hardwax finish.
7 1/2” x 7 1/4” x 1’-4 1/2” H
Shackle Me Lamp is part of a series of objects, focused on found and post-extractive materials, exhibited in 2024 at the KMAC Contemporary Art Museum. It is named in reference to the 1988 H-Street skate video, which you should watch here.
