Giraffe Chandelier
This sculpture presents a life-scaled giraffe form, finished in a warm ivory glaze with a hand-applied honeycomb pattern tracing across the full body — an abstracted take on the animal's natural coat, rendered here with a smooth, polished surface rather than a naturalistic texture. Every curve of the neck, shoulder, and leg has been shaped and finished by hand, giving the piece real sculptural weight and presence despite its pale, almost porcelain-like surface.
Held gently in the giraffe's mouth, a small brass chandelier hangs from a fine chain, its candle-style arms and warm glow adding a note of theatrical elegance to the piece — a deliberate, unexpected pairing of grand scale and delicate detail. The figure stands on a wide, low circular plinth, its pale stone-toned surface offering a clean, uncluttered base for the full composition.
No hand-finished piece of this scale carries quite the same glaze pattern or surface finish twice. This is a singular sculptural object, existing in exactly this one form.
