"A DAY LATE AND A BUCK SHORT" Groove Tube
Soft silver base, hand-painted and adorned with scans of scratch-off lotto tickets found on the streets of New York City. Paired with vivid red liquid and dramatic black wax.
I’m delighted to introduce you to the Groove Tube — a lava lamp-inspired lighting sculpture made for wherever you call home.
Each Groove Tube is cast from an original hand-sculpted form right in my little NYC studio (apartment). I salvage and reuse as many old lava lamps as I can get my hands on, repurposing their original components whenever possible. The dimmer cord is wrapped in fabric sourced from a recycled textile warehouse in Brooklyn, NY and sewn together by me — always prioritizing materials that already exist in the world.
Groove Tubes have a solid, weighty feel — because personally, I like it when things are heavy.
Light bulb included, of course.

Please note that each Groove Tube is handmade in my NYC studio (apartment). Subtle imperfections may appear — they're an intentional part of the process, small signs that your piece was shaped by human hands, not stamped out by a machine in a distant factory.
Please note that all orders are final sale due to the human and handmade nature of every piece. Your support sustains this artistic practice and I love you for it.
Orders will be thoughtfully prepared and shipped within 3 to 5 business days.
