Nate Hill, Artist, Morchella Lamps W/ Linen Shades

About the Item

The bases of this pair of Morchella lamps are made from turned end-grain spalted maple. Spalting occurs when fungi invade and digest wood. The line patterns that form are called zone lines. These zone lines are barriers that fungal agents produce in order to protect and delineate their territory as they compete to digest the wood. Zone lines produced by fungi are made of melanin, the same pigment that humans produce in their skin. The bases are complimented by simple linen shades. Artist Statement: Nate Hill is an artist and librarian who lives in Yorktown Heights, NY. He has an undergraduate degree in studio art from Skidmore College, a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science from Pratt Institute, and was an affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. Throughout Nate’s career he has made art that explores natural forms at different scales, from microscopic to universal. His current work focuses on biodiversity, the climate crisis, and positive futures that might be achieved through close observation of complex natural ecosystems and speculative designs.
