Hollow Knight Bench commission

Benches are checkpoints throughout Hallownest that the Knight can sit on to perform several actions:

  • Respawn at the Bench after quitting the game or dying.

  • Replenish all health

  • Equip and unequip Charms.

  • Which of course is a massive bonus to anyone needing a bit of rest and rejuvenation after a hard day’s work.

Bit of an odd one really —

 

 

 

I was tasked with creating a bench inspired by the ‘Hollow Knight’ computer game. I am not a gamer myself, ( ever since I compulsively played OG. Tomb Raider when it first came out ).

Looking at the great visual feel and music of this game I became inspired.  With limited artwork as a reference, I crafted a design that delighted the customer. I’m currently in the process of galvanizing and applying a black finish to make the bench suitable for outdoor use. It’s been a unique and enjoyable commission that I’ve thoroughly appreciated.

 

                    

work under construction nearly there.

Stainless steel butterflies for a lighting project remind me of Damian Hirst’s butterfly Paintings. here’s a little information on that

Whilst the butterfly is one of Hirst’s most enduring “universal triggers”, in the ‘Kaleidoscope’ paintings he differs from his use of it in earlier works. Previously, the inclusion of live butterflies, as in the installation ‘In and Out of Love’ (1991), or whole dead ones in the butterfly monochromepaintings, was partially an exploration of “the way the real butterfly can destroy the ideal (birthday-card) kind of love; the symbol exists apart from the real thing.”[2] Recalling someone once saying to him: “Butterflies are beautiful, but it’s a shame they have disgusting hairy bodies in the middle,” Hirst chose to use only the iridescent wings in the ‘Kaleidoscope’ paintings, divorcing the butterflies from “the real thing”.[3] Titles such as ‘The Most Beautiful Thing in The World’ (2003) reflect the idealised beauty they encapsulate.

Although my work is not fully related to the above text, I fulfilled my customer’s request by creating steel globe lighting shades, adorned with over 200 handmade butterflies. The entire production process was carried out in-house by me.

As I was heat colouring the butterflies in batches, I realized that arranging them in a circular formation could inspire another artwork. Stay tuned for more images as this lighting design work continues to develop.
