Lâm Quảng and Kestrel Gates are a husband-wife team who work collaboratively from concept and design through the creation of handmade paper lights. They do custom work for residential and commercial settings. Beginning with natural raw materials, Lâm and Kestrel employ both traditional and self-taught techniques. The rhythms of paper making, wire bending and papering, painting and waxing shape their days and weeks. Lâm and Kestrel'S work can be seen at Imogen Gallery, by appointment in their barn studio + showroom, and on line at www.HiiHLights.com.
Artists Statement Our lights are both functional and expressive. We consider how the light will affect the feeling and usage of a space. We draw extensively on the wellspring of Asian aesthetics. We are deeply inspired by the natural world and natural life cycles. These qualities of new growth, of silence, of fruition that we see around us in the natural world we also feel within us. Through our work, we hope to enhance these elements in other people's lives.
