Sen Light is a sculptural expression of structure, light and shadow. The light gains inspiration from the essay ‘In Praise of Shadow’ by Junichiro Tanazaki.

“We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates… Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty.”

The form consists of a single continuous line of light which wraps through angled timber joinery. This is part of a continual exploration of form, lines and geometry common throughout Liam’s work. The light functions as a sculptural floor, wall or pendant light.
