GRAPHAEO DESIGN

Dan Carey / Graphaeo Design creates lamps and decorative objects for understated yet sophisticated interiors. Rawhide and steel, compelling primary materials, touch ancient familiarity. Unique and original, rust prints on leather are constellations of limited edition monotypes, presented as illuminated art... Fuse traditional functionality with creative artistic sensibility, and you can activate collective memory. I try to evoke connections to past and future that satisfy our human urge to use objects imbued with handmade integrity and simplicity; simplicity that only looks simple... Another method of forming leather int ovarious impressed and rusted forms has opend the path to constructing large (and small) leather masks, incorporatiing a wide variety of materials, from wood to stainless steel, copper and glass as well as manipulated plastics and found objects, rooted in a tradition of indigenous craftsmanship.
