Heretofore Hanging Light

The Heretofore edition brings the notion of a trough of light together with a hand-chiseled texture in sculptural bronze. Heretofore, of course meaning “until now,” is an abstract concept about the reality that “now” is a constantly moving marker. At what moment does something transition from “until now” to “now”? The until-now moments that are ahead of us are contemplative as well. Heretofore is about holding light rather than directing it, merging sensitive texture and white patination into somewhat industrial troughs. The Heretofore Hanging Light is an inverted cast bronze trough with a hand-chiseled textured surface on its interior, A soft Indirect light is cast downwards from concealed LED strips along its sides.
