"Pillar" transforms an ornate Hindu temple carving into a functional lighting element, creating fascinating tension between sacred artifact and contemporary design. The intricately detailed base features a mythological figure-likely Garuda or another divine being-rendered in weathered stone or wood, with elaborate headdress and ceremonial ornamentation. The stark black lampshade creates dramatic contrast against the sculptural base, while allowing warm light to illuminate the detailed carvings.

 

About Artwork: Pillar

This 1980 piece exemplifies creative adaptation of traditional Eastern religious iconography into practical Western interior design. The lamp's golden illumination enhances the textural qualities of the carved figure, creating subtle shadows that highlight the intricate relief work and aged patina of the material. When lit, the piece radiates a warm ambiance that transforms its sacred origins into an object of both contemplation and function, creating an atmospheric presence within any interior space.
