This is a quick photo I took on the way of tony's tour when I was suddenly attracted by the window on the roadside.
(Requiem is an ethereal series of limited-edition pieces. Each sculpted by hand, by Lee Broom in our London factory. The collection takes inspiration from the marble drapery on ancient statues and sepulchral sculptures. Each piece appearsweightless and fluid but is solid in form, made by hand-draping fabrics in plaster through and around illuminated glass. These ghostly forms are then sculpted with more plaster into their final shape and set until solid. The effect is one of fragile drapery that appears to capture a floating light source. To celebrate the 15-year anniversary of Lee Broom, each of the four limited edition Requiem designs is limited to 15 pieces.)
What surprised me was that what looked like a ball of light on a piece of fabric was actually made of plaster.
