Paisley Lamp (Medium)

The Paisley Lamp is part of artist Gordon Moore’s ongoing exploration of lighting as both functional object and sculptural form within the home. The design draws on the paisley motif, long associated with woven textiles and decorative patterning, as well as the looping rhythms of vine growth. In his interpretation, these references are translated onto stoneware through layers of hand-painted slip, allowing the pattern to flow continuously across the faceted geometry of the vessel.

Each lamp is wheel-thrown and assembled in stoneware before it is finished with porcelain slip and the signature Paisley pattern. For this exhibition, the lamps are presented in a custom blue palette developed exclusively for Jacqueline Sullivan Gallery, referencing painted furniture traditions and decorative surfaces of early American “Fancy” style.
