"Marten Herma Anderson describes a long-standing fascination with 'translucent colour - ice cream wrappers, gummy bears, the way light moves through something that was never meant to glow.' This fascination is reflected in his candy-like lamps, which use resin to echo the soft collapse of candy under warmth."
"Each of Marten Herma Anderson's lamps combines glass fiber shades with raw, waxed ceramic bases. This material palette lends a clear conversation between softness and structure, with details like fine mesh impressions and tiny air bubbles giving the objects a sense of immediacy."
"Once illuminated, the candy lamps shift from object to atmosphere as color disperses through the resin. Some areas glow softly while others remain dense, activating embedded forms and bringing forward small details that remain subtle when the lamp is off."
"Anderson frames the work as an extension of personal habits and memories, stating, 'Everyone around me knows I love candy: not just the taste, but the way it looks and feels.' This personal connection drives the design of his lamps."
Marten Herma Anderson creates a series of lamps inspired by childhood memories of melted candy on a lamp-bulb. The lamps feature shades made from resin that suspend melted pigments, reflecting a fascination with translucent colors. Each lamp combines glass fiber shades with raw ceramic bases, creating a dialogue between softness and structure. When illuminated, the lamps shift from objects to atmospheric elements, with color dispersing through the resin and activating subtle details. Anderson's work embodies personal memories and a love for candy.
