About this piece

Bring the elemental beauty of the outdoors into your sanctuary with the Blackwater Torchiere. Part lighting fixture, part striking sculpture, this piece is a testament to the raw elegance of nature.

Crafted from solid, weathered timber with a deep, charred-carbon finish, the lamp evokes the mystery of ancient bog wood or driftwood reclaimed from dark waters. Its monolithic form rises dramatically from a minimalist semi-circular base, tapering into a natural, flame-like peak.

The rich, matte-black surface is teeming with texture—deep fissures, rolling grain patterns, and organic imperfections that catch the light, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. Designed to stand flush against a wall, the Torcherie casts a warm, ambient glow from behind its wooden façade, creating a stunning silhouette and a moody, atmospheric wash of light.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kevin grew up in Cody, WY, where he was strongly influenced by Western art and the beauty of his mountain surroundings. Drawing and illustration were his first artistic expressions. He received the rare opportunity to apprentice under an Old World master wood carver from Athens, Greece, and spent five years carving European classic works and fixing a lot of broken furniture, an invaluable experience. Over the next twenty years he carved wildly and human figures and all manner of floral designs large and small. His current work focuses on designing and making architectural features, interior furnishings, and custom sculpture. Doing common things such as joinery and material selection in unexpected ways has become characteristic of his work. Beauty. Hope. Significance. These are a few of the things I hope you experience interacting with my work.
