week 2: artist research: Vainius Kubilius

These lamps create mesmerizing light patterns. The lights are hand crafted by the artist Vainius Kabilius. The lamps are created from American grown gourd and the lamp stand in finest Faux leather. Each lamp is carefully handcrafted to create these fascinating patterns which lights up the entire room. They create a tranquil, romantic and passionate atmosphere because of the subtle and natural colours.
It feels as though you are surrounded by patterns made of light.
I will recreate Kubilius's work by carving various patterns into a cardboard box. I need to think about how the light will shine through the patterns of the cardboard into its surroundings, and create a similar effect to these sculptures.


My Cardboard Light inspired By Kubilius







 
This is a recreation of  Kubilius's work. I have carved various patterns into the cardboard by laying the squares on a flat surface, which allows me to easily carve them. I glued all the edges together and tried to create a perfect cube shape, but there were some uneven edges when the product was put together.
I captured the sculpture during the day to show the detail of the carved patterns, and also at night using a flash light inside the box to show the light patterns reflecting on the wall. I think I have executed this quite well as the light gave a powerful and fascinating effect. It creates a tranquil atmosphere, which is how I intended it to be. The patterns are supposed to be inspired by flowers and petals, and the repeated patterns of holes were inspired by the artist Vainius kubilius.
I will test out new materials, draw new ideas, and research other artists, and make sure i work to the best of my ability to create innovative designs.
