Prototype Cubist Table Lamp by Ashoke Chhabra, 2019

48h x 15w x 15d in

Reclaimed redwood, glass. 1st place winner of "Leave a Light On" at the Wharton Esherick Museum was Ashoke Chhabra from Tujunga, CA for Prototype Cubist Table Lamp, whose angular rows of reclaimed redwood and glass rise from the floor with a wonderful, chaotic rhythm. “For me the creative process is non-linear. It is marked by a series of failures, happy accidents, and modest victories. Occasionally the endless plodding is punctuated by the spark of an idea that alters the course of all future efforts. The work with which I am presently engaged is the result of one such moment the likes of which has embolden me with a fresh enthusiasm to the point of reinvention. I refer to my new line of work as the “Chaos Series,” so named for the disjointed impression one gets upon initially viewing. There is however order at play, a pattern that repeats before righting itself for the next sequence. It is this juxtaposition of the dissonant and the harmonious that perhaps lends this work its greatest visual interest.” Ashoke Chhabra
