Lamp, Denis Brown, 2005. Made from rolled card on a wooden base with low heat ecotone bulb.
15" or 38cm tall.

This work resulted from a creative application of a misprinted Christmas card. I mistakenly printed the abstract calligraphy on both sides of the card instead of what should have been a colour adaptation on the front. But now, show though of the reversed image from the backside gives an interesting layered effect when backlit. The text simply reads 'Christmas Greetings' from bottom to top.
