Description :

Ceramic: Jean Tumpane Metal: Judith Starbuck Fiber: Lyn DeNino From the exhibition Three Part Harmony Functional Lamp Sculpture

A rare mixed‑media sculptural lamp created through the combined work of three noted artists from the Three Part Harmony exhibition of the 1980s. Ceramic artist Jean Tumpane forms the primary vessel, complemented by metalwork by Judith Starbuck and a fiber component by Lyn DeNino. The result is a unified, textural composition that merges clay, metal, and fiber into a single expressive form.

This piece is both an artwork and a functioning lamp, reflecting the era’s interest in sculptural utility and cross‑disciplinary collaboration. Surfaces show intentional handmade variation consistent with studio craft of the period. Wiring appears original; buyers may choose to update according to preference.

A compelling acquisition for collectors of Pacific Northwest studio art, mixed‑media sculpture, and artist‑made lighting.
