Fabricated and found steel, handcrafted paper

Found object base reminiscent of a lady's stitching hoop inspired this floor
lamp. The body was sculpted line by line to have a graceful, feminine flow
to compliment the base. The overall shape reminded me of a silk bag an expensive
bottle might arrive in, so I wrapped and tied off the ends like you might
a silk bag. With the "bones" of the lamp body exposed, I decided
to expose the "ribs" of the shade. The finishing touch was leathery
paper that looked like an animal hide. And there was Skin and Bones.
