Maple Leaf Sconce
All of House of Goblin’s sconces are vertiginous wall objects, intrinsically suggestive of natural organisms: their form and associative cultural meaning. These ceramics are this time activated not by food or drink, but by light and therefore morph into objects of altered states as the light source changes around them. With an ode to the flickering light of proto-cinema, here we regard worlds hidden within, behind and outside of ceramic facades. A shadow play occurs in some instances, while corners of a room are partially lit others are fully revealed. From a shortening of Old French esconse meaning lantern, or hiding place and directly from Medieval Latin sconsa, the etymological grounding in sconce is in the Latin abscondere, "to hide".
