Artisinal Illumination
Valerie Vigar Lights
Elevate the exterior of your home with sculptural lighting that transcends function and becomes art. These artisanal ceramic wall sconces are designed for outdoor use, casting a warm, atmospheric glow while making a striking architectural statement across façades, courtyards, and garden walls. Each piece brings depth, texture, and a quiet sense of intrigue, perfect for spaces that celebrate individuality over convention.
Created by ceramic artist Valerie Vigar, these works sit at the intersection of sculpture and light. Every piece is meticulously handcrafted, guided by an intuitive process that draws from art, architecture, travel, and cultural narratives. The result is lighting that feels both timeless and deeply personal, objects that do not just illuminate a space but transform it.
Working with a diverse range of clays, each chosen for its unique character, Valerie uses predominantly coil building techniques to shape her forms. This tactile approach allows the material to speak, revealing subtle shifts in texture and structure. Her work reimagines classical and ancient forms through a contemporary lens, giving rise to silhouettes that feel at once familiar and unexpected.
Each sculpture carries its own story. Hints of past journeys, fragments of landscapes, and impressions of the natural world are embedded in every curve and surface. Weathered glazes, slips, and oxides lend a sense of age and authenticity, while the textures, formed through delicate, instinctive movements of the hand, embrace imperfection as part of their beauty.
These are not just lights, but heirloom objects, designed to age gracefully, evolve with their surroundings, and continue to reveal new details over time.
