Stuart Haygarth

Haygarth creates 'magical and evocative stories through objects central to [his] work.'





This chandelier style light installment has been compliled with 'hundreds of pairs of prescription spectacles'.
The artist's design 'draws an elegant and analogous line between the glasses' old and new purposes- from mundane objects which improved sight to a spectacular installation...'


These lighting fixtures are created from unconventional materials complied together in a way which creates something beautiful, and even practical. The way such unwanted materials can be arranged together to create an item which people will pay to own, or even see, is alchemic.

It is interesting to explore the way people pay for items they will eventually discard, and then see the way inventive and creative people can change this.

This chandelier is created with bottle ends, clearly giving such materials which are identified by people as ugly, a beauty..
