OVERLAY II Burnt steel with burnt brass and smoked Murano glass Dimensions: H 90" x D 18" Started with the idea of drafting a pattern on paper for a garment with free flowing 3-D folds and arresting these fabric folds in metal, Kallol Datta, created a series of light objects that fuse sculptural form with hand worn materials. All the lights are completely handcrafted in beaten and casted metal bringing Industrial uniqueness to each object. The appearance of surfaces and textures on objects and materials are manually achieved with age old technique such as patina and burning.
