Concept:

This piece is a reinterpretation of a typical Menorah which is meant to instill permanency and organic warmth. It is comprised of two wood pieces: a plaque mounted to the wall and a horizontal piece that slips into the plaque. The plaque is made of cherry wood scraps, so as to impart a reddish warmth and is glued together in a pattern analogous to the sun. The horizontal piece (which houses the candles) is poplar wood painted black so as to emphasize the lit candles at night.
