The Lamplighter is a metal and wood interactive sculpture constructed of antiquated tools and manmade objects. It’s available for purchase or can be scheduled for a temporary installation at art and cultural events worldwide.
The Lamplighter sculpture harks back to the early days when streets of most towns and cities were lit by gas lamps. By means of long poles, ladders, and even tall bikes, these lamps had to be lit each night as dusk turned to darkness. Lamplighters provided not only light but also safety in their communities. More than just a job, these harbingers of light represent a way of life: illuminating darkness. We all carry light within us and The Lamplighter is a reminder to collectively connect and spread that light.
This piece of art represents a higher calling: to shine light into darkness and bring about illumination and ultimately, love. There are endless ways to share your light with the world and it is up to each of us to find that path, go boldly into that unknown and be a beacon with our lamps ablaze!
