I love making lamps, but have kept mine quite simple–till now! Chris’ lamps are much more elaborate than mine, but there are some similarities. Use of ‘found’ materials and exposed parts and wiring, etc. He has been working with lighting for quite awhile, and it shows.
“I have been buying, selling and restoring antique lightings for over thirty five years. Recently I became interested in Steampunk design and began making lamps in Steampunk and industrial styles.”

These make me think of a scary science project or one of those globes that you buy from Spencer when you put your fingers on it the electricity follows your fingers.
It’s like the set of late period Tom Baker Dr Who leaked into reality. These are beautiful.
These are great, beautiful, and interesting.
