Lamp made on commission for my friend Justin Ortiz’s birthday. The first lamp I made since returning to my studio after a summer in New York.

It is a double hanging ceiling light with an upward-aiming ambient light and an aim-able task light.

The ambient light is based on lamp #16 and the task light is a miniature-sized lamp #1.

The lamps are controlled with a two-circuit switch on the task light which cycles: Both Lamps OFF->Lamp 1 ON-> Lamp 2 ON -> Both lamps ON-> Both lamps OFF . This is the first chance I had to implement this switch since experimenting with it.

The task light is counterbalanced by a stone from my backyard, secured to the inside of the ambient lamp with a string stitched through a circle of drilled holes.
