Description 
The traditional lamp form is made from a number of rather eclectic objects which add to its overall interest. The holes in the "cheese grater" like metal farm instrument transmit  light and act as a shade at the top. Rotating an object 180 degrees (porcelain wheels) can provide a completely  different sense for appreciating form. The paper at the bottom was added to "disrupt" the negative space of the shears.
