About Meduse 조각적 조명

메두즈(Meduse)는 해양 서식지에서 영감을 받은 조각적 조명이다. 각 작품은 라쿠 도자기와 무라노 블로운 글라스 촉수를 결합한 것이다. 이 조명은 실내외 모두에서 사용할 수 있으며, 주변 벽면에 빛과 그림자의 효과를 만들어낸다. 다채로운 색상의 LED 조명은 리모컨으로 조절할 수 있다. 세라믹 본체는 내화점토로 성형한 뒤 건조, 소성, 유약 처리를 거쳐 섭씨 930도에서 재차 구워지며, 아직 뜨거운 상태에서 가마 밖으로 꺼내진다. 이때 발생하는 열충격이 금속성과 무지갯빛 반사를 지닌 균열 표면을 만들어낸다.

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

Drying: 20 days
Blown glass processing: 7 days
