WCS2106 is a one-of-a-kind work of art and functional sconce made from cast bronze, Argentine goatskin and LED by artist and designer William C Stuart, founder of Costantini Design.
This piece is a continuation of the artist's series of cast plaster objects entitled "Things that Exist in Time and Space" from 2019-present in which the artist investigates themes of permanence, mortality, healing and ephemera. While the plaster pieces are definitively fragile, this new work combines a comparatively heavy, almost bulletproof bronze shell, complemented by translucent goatskin, delicately sealed on its reverse side with resin. The piece can be hung in either direction or ordered as a pair to be hung in opposite manners.
