Tree lamp

This lamp exemplies the tree lamp period of my work. I probably created 8-10 lamps that had either legs that were trees or trunks. Many of them had branches running right through the shade.
Lik all my lamps, this was entirely created using 16 guage wire and paper mache. The shade was molded as the paper mache was drying. It is painted to look like bronze. There are pennies embedded in it's trunk for weight. This took a LONG time to build. It was in a gallery show of 21st century art as well as show at The Roxbury Arts Group.
