About the Item

Twiggy was created as an imaginary creature that embodies the physical attributes of different life forms that fascinate me. As an artist, I often get lost in a make-believe world where anything is possible, and the rules of logic don't apply. This sculptural candelabra could be half centipede, half coral, with horns growing on its back. On its own, its absurdity captures the viewer's attention as a three-dimensional artwork with an African identity, but transforms further when the candles elongate its linear body and the light bounces of the spikey texture. The aim is to give the viewer a glimpse into the fantasy world that exists in my mind. As the first of its kind, Twiggy sets the mood for a collection of imaginary creatures to follow. The sculptural candelabra is made of unglazed, white stoneware clay with and red to earthernware temperatures. Jan Ernst is a multidisciplinary creative specializing in functional art and spatial design using clay as his main medium. The work is driven by his fascination with natural structures such as corals, fungi and rock formations. His organic designs stem from his abstract understanding of form and space influenced by his background in architecture, his connection with the natural world and his South African heritage.
