Stuart Haygarth

Stuart Haygarth's artist statement is quite simple: "Starting in 2004 I have been working on design projects which revolve around the collections of objects. The objects are normally collected in large quantities categorized and assembled in a way that transforms their meaning. My work is about giving banal and overlooked objects a new significance. The finished piece of work takes various forms such as chandeliers, installations, functional and sculptural objects." The first chandelier featured below consists entirely of translucent found objects that washed up on the coast of Kent in England. The black chandelier and the one consisting of multi-colored balls are party poppers collected after New Years in London. Amazing work.
