"Light-traps" lampares de vímet

Ligth-traps són les noves lampares teixides amb vímet i fil de colors que he creat.  Estan inspirades en les nanses dels pescadors del Mediterrani.

Light-traps are my new lampshades, woven with willow and coloured string inspired by the fishtraps used by mediterranean fishermen.
