The base is hand carved in walnut. There are five pentagon frames-within-a-frame with 1,6 ratio and each of them with descending width clockwise. Between the frames there are 21 irregular pentagons with ascending size clockwise. The neck is wrapped with waxed cotton string. The two arcs of the neck are also with 1,6 ratio. The head is oblate spheroid on which are pyrographed twelve pentagons forming irregular dodecahedron. Seven of those pentagons are with same size, the bottom front pentagon has 1,6 ratio with the two lateral front pentagons which have 1,6 ratio with the two top front pentagons. Within ten pentagons (excluding the front and rear) there are carved pentagon frames with same width ratio; the width of the front five is ascending clockwise and the width of the rear five is ascending counterclockwise so all of the bordering carvings have different width. At the back, starting from the center there are four pentagons (painted, carved, pyrographed and painted) with 1,6 ratio. The front pentagon is the lamp cap on which are carved smaller pentagons, all with 1,6 progression and surrounded by impossible pentagon. All perforation is vertically symmetrical/mirrored: the curved patterns and the straight lines. There are 20.480 holes with diameter from 0.5mm to 3mm. Although most of the ratio on the lamp design is 1,6(18:)) there are slightly variations, smaller and bigger, made for better aesthetics. Diameters of the gourd: 6.3 - 9 inches. Diameter of the base: 9.6 inches. Height: 15.7 inches. Working time: 112 days.

I was born in 1981 in Ohrid, Macedonia, where I still live and work. When I work on a gourd you see almost not moving man working on a very small area with his tiny tools, and that picture is quite boring, but in my head it is the most dramatic process. I feel overwhelmed and tired, I’m experiencing pure joy and disappointment, love and anger, all of that in a single day, or just in a few moments. That is very addictive to me. Why so much detailed lamps? Although I would say it is just for the love of it, it’s also a rebellious statement against the instant way of today’s living. We train our attention only on short, quick tasks, and that can easily become shallow and dangerous. One lamp can take half a year of countless risky tasks, not knowing what the final result will be like. As it is a deep technical exploration of the mysterious spherical wood, it is also a deep introspection of personal limits. Making something unique is a very tempting challenge. My previous involvements in art were through music and literature. After you finish a music composition, you record it in a studio, and then it can be heard by everyone who buys it. When you finish a book, it is printed and it can be read by as many people as the number of copies sold. And it is the same book for everyone. It is the same song for everyone. The only difference is the personal impression. Well, the gourd lamp is only one. It cannot be duplicated on so many cd’s, it cannot be printed on so many pages. It’s only one cd. It’s only one book. And even when it is in front of you, you can see almost half of the lamp. There is always ongoing mystery about its appearance. And I just love that!
