Ask the ArtisanA study in sweeping arcs and industrial poise, the Metal Cowboy Lamp transforms raw utility into a piece of functional sculpture. Its silhouette is defined by a slender, perforated steel spine that rises from a heavy circular base like a bridge across a modern skyline. This dark, hand-finished frame balances a wide, low-profile shade that casts a focused pool of light, perfect for illuminating the dark grain of a mahogany desk or the crisp lines of a drafting table.
At the heart of the lamp, a polished copper socket holds an exposed Edison-style filament bulb in a bold, horizontal suspension. This juxtaposition of metals, the cool, matte charcoal of the steel against the fiery warmth of the copper, creates a visual tension that is both sophisticated and grounded. When lit, the amber glow of the filament catches the metallic accents, softening the lamp’s brutalist edges with a nostalgic, late-night radiance. Every detail, down to the tactile weight of the metal and the rich texture of the braided fabric cord, has been considered to ensure this piece feels as substantial as it looks.
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.
