This lamp is conceived as a material interpretation of the ancient rock formations found across California’s national parks. Over geological timescales, wind, gravity, heat, and erosion sculpt landscapes into stratified, elemental structures. The lamp translates these processes into a contemporary ceramic object whose silhouette is both geometric and inherently organic.

The ceramic body forms a stable, architectural core. Across its surface, the material records the dynamics of its own formation. Fire induces measurable transformations: temperature gradients, glaze flow, and gravitational effects consolidate into a distinct topography. Each lamp emerges as an individual thermal document, shaped by controlled heat exposure and material response. No two pieces are identical, and each one preserves its own sequence of physical events.
