Leather, Steel and Wood Desk Lamp (2023)

​

In observing the people around me, I found at a young age that alcohol and alcoholism has always had a profound affect on my life and the life of my loved ones. Because of this, I made the decision to never drink alcohol many years ago.

 

Upon further investigation as an adult, I have found that many people who have observed the same things that I have, and made the same decision that I have made, the decision is often rooted in the need for control. With so much hardship that occurs at the feet of a single common substance, we have a need to feel like we have control over something - anything in this life. Especially control over ourselves. The thought of losing any control over our own body or mind terrifies us.

 

Ldl Light is meant to embody this notion. Even in using such a natural and organic substance as leather, it has been molded and formed with intent. Simple. Precise. 

Controlled.
