Made Personally by Jeremy Walton. Mooment shop.

Lampshade made as part of the Made personally exhibition at Mooment shop. This lampshade uses the e-craftbook jw 006 (available to down load and make your own at designyoumake.com, just $10. Or this one needs a home for slightly more than $10.)

My subject for this shade is an Iceberg. I done some in-depth study of icebergs (couple of photos on google images) The diamond shade lends itself to the form of the iceberg and I collected papers that are white, pure white and super white for above the water line. For below the water line and deeper inside the iceberg, I collected blue paper, milk cartons and the monthly Map magazine by architect David Garcia.

The diamond shade principal, followed on from the original Neo Tramp Art lamp shade, but i would say the diamond lamp shade is closer to being Neo Tramp Art, the diamond cut was inspired by the Tramp Art notch and layer technique. What pleases me with this lamp is that like Original tramp art the person making has freedom to express their own form and colour using the cut and layer technique. They are not restricted by a specific form decided by me. They have a process to work with and what they do with it is up to them.

Thank you to David Garcia for the Map map, which firstly, was the right sort of blue I needed and secondly, appropriately about Antarctica. So looking closely within the lamp, one can find small drawings of penguins, people dressed for arctic conditions, snow flakes and even photos of icebergs.

Installation by Jeremy Walton June 2009. Roskilde Festival

Going along with the Circus theme, I studied in detail (a couple of online photos) Cannon Smoke from human cannon ball acts. I attempted to recreate this using the lampshade diamonds made of craft paper, waste paper and good old milk cartons.

The majority was made on site using a cutting knife, a staple gun and with help thanks to my festive festival helpers. The result was a battle against the wind and humidity. some amount of smoke built up over the duration of the festival. I did manage to test and learn a lot about the diamond shade and the E-craftbook which presents how to make your own diamonds into smoke, candyfloss or what ever takes your fancy.

I started with an explosive centre, which aptly vanished late one night leaving a cloud of smoke.

Bang!

I don’t have many photos due to my camera having a battery life of about 5 minutes. I have filmed the development of the smoke and shall include that at some point.

The story of the human cannon ball. After 40 years in the business he had the accuracy to propel himself into a bathtub from 300 meters. One final night he over loaded his cannon and created a cloud of smoke that took eight days to clear. It was some years later that a silver sequined leotard was found two miles away in the local duck pond. Some people say he was attempting to out perform the new sensational trapeze artists, while others say, it was a perfect shot from two miles and a smoke screen to cover up his disappearance on the same night that the bakers wife left town.

Unlike my standard Panel Shades these ‘Virgin Trapese Shades’ use salvaged lampshade frames for the metal ring and the rest of the old lampshade frame remains hanging down within the new lampshade.

I made these in SoupaNaturals circus tent at the 2009 Roskilde Festival. The shades were made on site with a knife and hole-punch (A Silent Circus). Other than the salvaged shade frames they are made of selected waste paper from a local printer, plus some Polyester ‘Faber’ strips from panel curtains.

The ‘Panel Shades’ take a little while to plan out and make, but I am enjoying the ability they give to make such individual pieces, so get in touch if you want to commission one or two.

All handmade with a knife and hours of love.

Using waste paper from a printer, waste packaging and craft papers.
