About this artwork
“Home” is an accurate globe showing continents and major warm and cold ocean currents. Matthew spent two months painting “Home’s” continents and oceans with toothpicks one little dab and stroke at a time giving this piece a very visually and physically tactile experience. An antique Nautical Compass was referenced for the bottom design encompassing Antarctica where stain instead of paint was used achieving texture polarity.
For the end cap a very… special burl was selected. Naturally ridden with irregularities “N” “E” “S” “W” was burned into the continuation of the lamps southern pole compass so the collector can find their way.
Higher illumination fit “Home” with warm but sharp lined shadows protruding from the bottom of the lamp onto your large oak office desk in your mountain home on the lake, or table on your mega yacht while you travel the globe. To achieve this a high watt clear bulb is used.
