About Meduse Lampada scultorea

Meduse è una lampada scultorea ispirata agli habitat marini. Ogni pezzo unisce la ceramica Raku a tentacoli in vetro di Murano soffiato. La lampada è adatta all'uso in interni ed esterni e crea giochi di luce e ombra sulle pareti circostanti. L'illuminazione LED multicolore può essere regolata tramite telecomando. Il corpo in ceramica è modellato in argilla refrattaria, essiccato, cotto, smaltato e nuovamente cotto a 930 gradi Celsius, quindi estratto dal forno ancora incandescente. Lo shock termico che ne deriva genera una superficie craquelé con riflessi metallici e iridescenti.

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
Modeled with clay: 12 days
Drying: 20 days
Blown glass processing: 7 days
Location: Lido of Venice and Murano,Italy
Operation Flow
The object can be used as an Indoor and Outdoor Lamp. The lamp is suitable for creating new atmospheres with light and shadow effects on the wall. The user can interact by changing different colors using the remote control.
