Deep Reflections
Ethan Streicher’s newest ceramic lamp collection delves into the fusion of natural textures and modern aesthetics, seamlessly blending the raw charm of stone with the captivating warmth of bronze light. The collection intricately weaves together the hand-painted earthy textures of clay and the reflective qualities of bronze, serving as a testament to the inherent beauty of raw materials and the transformative power of light.
"This new collection is quite different than my ‘usual’ work, leaning into darker, moodier aesthetics inspired by geodes I used to crack open as a kid, with their rough rocky outside and a shiny, reflective surprise on the inside.
With this new series, I explored alternative methods to add texture on the ceramic pieces, using acrylics and varnish to achieve the hand-painted faux-rock texture you see across the collection.
I want to use each collection that I release as a capsule—I don’t believe all work I’ve created to date has to be related. This room for play and freedom allows me to not be boxed-in by what I’ve made previously, and hopefully keeps things fresh and unexpected people following my work."
