Candleholder Amazon #3
-
Description
A unique sculptural candleholder hand made with carbonized found wood from the Amazon
The carbonization technique, traditionally used by Brazilian indigenous peoples to protect canoes from water and by Japanese architects—such as the use of charred wood in facades—was revitalized by Jay to create unique artistic pieces.
It involves a process that uses fire to make the wood more resistant, protecting it against termites, fungi, and other natural forces for decades, while also giving the pieces a unique visual appearance.
The collection “Forging fire” is curated by art historian Renata Baltar, who also named the series and conducted in-depth research on ancestral wood carbonization techniques—a method that protects the raw material while highlighting its strength, texture, and beauty. -
