About Meduse Lanpara Eskultorikoa

Meduse itsas habitatetan inspiratutako lanpara eskultorikoa da. Pieza bakoitzak Raku zeramika eta Muranoko beira soplatuzko tentakuluak konbinatzen ditu. Lanpara barruan zein kanpoan erabiltzeko egokia da, eta argi eta itzal efektuak sortzen ditu inguruko hormetan. Kolore anitzeko LED argiztapena urrutiko kontrol batekin doitu daiteke. Gorputz zeramikoa buztin sukoitzez modelatzen da, lehortu, labekatu, beztitu eta berriro labekatzen da 930 gradu Celsius-tan, gero, beroa dagoela, labetik ateratzen da. Ondorioz sortzen den termo-shockak azalera pitzatua sortzen du, islapen metaliko eta distiratsuekin.

Production Technology
After the modelling with refractory clay, I begin a deconstruction process of the traditional shape, a 20 day long drying process begins. I go on with the first cooking at 950 degrees celsius, the glazing process and the second cooking into a Raku oven at 930 degrees celsius. The object is removed still white-hot from the oven. Arrangement of the Led lighting system and finally the insertion of the Murano blown glass tentacles.
Design Challenge
Take the pieces out of the oven at 940 degrees celsius and quickly manage the thermal shock in three minutes.
The integration of the glass tentacles on the ceramic base.
Research
The goal is to create lamps that integrate Art and Design. The method is transversal by integrating two techniques ceramics with Murano glass; Through the Deconstruction of art, a process of liberation from the traditional historical form begins to give way to a new syncretic language. Two readings: Fusion of different techniques and cultures and Safeguarding the oceans, a tropicalization of the Mediterranean is occurring.The lamp has had a positive impact in Milan and in the VeniceGlassWeek 2020
Inspiration
The Marine Habitat, I conceive my works as reflections of a recreated nature, the connection between nature and culture is a constant in my work. I work across different disciplines.I began a path of alienation from the Traditional shape in order to give way to a new syncretic language by the deconstruction of the art.
The work communicates two levels of interpretation:
Fusion and integration of two cultures, Peru and Italy.
Safeguarding seas and oceans: a Tropicalization of the Mediterranean sea is occurring.
Project Duration
Modeled with clay: 12 days
Drying: 20 days
Blown glass processing: 7 days
Location: Lido of Venice and Murano,Italy
Operation Flow
The object can be used as an Indoor and Outdoor Lamp. The lamp is suitable for creating new atmospheres with light and shadow effects on the wall. The user can interact by changing different colors using the remote control.
