I drew up a plan in the middle of that year, thinking I would be finished in a few days. Said and done — I finished it exactly six months later.

I watched the project as I went, and I "saw" how each part spawned its own variants and adjusted itself to the ones already there. How do I put this — the object (yes, fine, it is a lamp) started to have a direction of its own, and all I had to do was stay patient and curious enough to build what came naturally.

I could tell you it is made of granite, brass and yew, but what Radiance actually taught me was to pay attention to a direction that was drawing itself. The frustration turned up wherever the whole thing held together least, so I read it as a sign: no road through here. Where the right variant appeared, the frustration was replaced by the pleasure of seeing something I had not planned.

Hence the name: Radiance.

...m-am apucat de desenat un plan la mijlocul anului asta, cu gandul sa finalizez lucrarea in cateva zile. Zis si facut...am terminat-o fix sase luni mai tarziu.

Am observat proiectul pe masura ce inaintam, am "vazut" cum fiecare componenta isi genera variante si se ajusta la cele deja existente. Cum sa explic...obiectul asta (sigur, e o lampa) a inceput sa aiba propria directie, iar eu doar a trebuit sa fiu suficient de rabdator si curios ca sa pot executa ceea ce venea natural si potrivit.

As spune ca e facuta din granit, alama si lemn de tisa, dar Radiance m-a "invatat" sa fiu atent la o directie care se crea singura. Frustrarile au aparut in directiile in care coerenta ansamblului era mai mica, asa ca le-am interpretat "pe aici nu se trece". Acolo unde apareau variantele potrivite, frustrarile erau inlocuite de bucuria de a vedea ceva inedit.

De-aici si numele: Radiance.
