Jon Sutter's Portfolio:

Display Stand:

Title: For Closer Examination

Dimensions: 19"w x 24"h x 9"d

This work is a combination of rotating rock stand, clock, weather station, and lamp. It is modeled after a piece of scientific equipment known as a bell jar. Using a bell jar, researchers are able to produce controlled environments for certain types of experiments. For me the bell jar represents an opportunity for reflection.

Lamp:

Title: Signal Tower

Dimensions: 13"w x 47"h x 13"d

Designed to broadcast, this lamp has 300 Watts of powerful halogen light. An aluminum tower is supported by a concrete base which keeps this lamp stable. What other lamp will illuminate your home and keep you in touch with extraterrestrial intelligence?

Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to it's delight,
Joys in another's loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite.

For a moment of night we have a glimpse of ourselves and of our world islanded in its stream of stars - pilgrims of mortality, voyaging between horizons across the eternal seas of space and time. - Henry Beston

Hall Table:
