This piece "night light" is comprised of a chest that was constructed out of ply-wood, painted white, and mulled down to extend a weathered look. The chest's stark-white paint is tempered by a "color splash" which is provided by two sets of seasonal string-lights. These lights were carefully woven in and out of a single 3/4 inch hole, located at the bottom of each bottle. The holes were hand-cut using a diamond tipped drill bit, and careful precision.
"Our persistent search for the elements that will balance our individual dissonance." An idea of the traditional "Hope Chest" came as inspiration and offered, what I felt was, the segue for devising a piece to convey the faith we possess as humans, for others to be something greater; for our future generations to be stronger in their determination and fortitude, and wiser in their decisions.
