Amazing! Beautiful how the materials alter the light.
I like… that’s a pretty organic light
its just wotsits on wire and other packing materials…
i think the person that said nosigner stuff is better must be pretty stupid. this is silk. those ones are stupid eggshells.
ango makes good work. he is serious about whats going on .. i used to exhibit next to him in frankfurt few years ago and it was great seeing him talk about his work
