Los Angeles-based artist James Herman draws influence from the likes of Niki de Saint Phalle and Antonio Gaudi. A driving interest in social sculpture and critical function guide Herman's sculptures. Herman elaborates, “I've never used traditional fine art mediums or processes, and I continue finding inspiration in craft, folk art, and what would be called an ‘old-world’ means of creating. I’m tired of computers making things.” Herman embraces techniques born out of need-specific craft communities such as mosaic, glass-making, and terrazzo that function harmoniously with a modernist and ecological perspective.

Handmade with recycled materials, Herman's Chunky Petal Lamp introduces a rosy glow to any room. Meant to be touched, used, and enjoyed, Herman comments, “the haptic quality of working with mosaic is something so rewarding. I love seeing people want to touch the work.”
