Contemporary Blue Glazed Time Warp Wall Sconce Handcrafted by Jan Ernst

About the Item

Deeply intrigued by surrealism, Ernst is intrigued by surrealist painters' studies of time, it's passing, and its link to their surrounding environments in order to create illogical situations. The artist has applied this notion to Craft product designs of dreamlike irrationality to treescapes manifested as two pendant lights, ‘Loop’ which depicts the slow passing of time and the melting from one hour to the next, one era into another, in the droopiness of the lamps. The two organically shaped ‘Time Warp’ wall sconces feature elongated forms that fold into themselves to resemble the branches and stems of trees while symbolically representing the undulating pace of time. Completing the series and launching online are the two ‘Seed’ table lights; which are deliberately simplistic to echo the nebulous beginning of a tree—and by extension – the hesitant beginning of life itself at the start of time. The switching on of the lights represents the activation of life. “I wanted to bring together three distinct elements here: trees which are always evolving, the light which is ephemeral, and clay which is fixed. I was curious to experiment with uniting them; the end result is a fantasy world of contradictions that all coexist,” concludes Ernst about the collection.
