Pod light

Copper, tea bag, paper
400 x 240 x 180 mm

An old coil of copper, when twisted in reverse, opens to form an organic pod structure. I had a pile of tea bag strips from a previous artwork, which called out to be woven within the copper (strips have surprising strength due to the polypropylene contained in tea bag paper).

Things of beauty can be achieved with simplicity and creativity; increasingly, creative solutions are required as continuing demands are made on our planet.
