Liquid Light by Tanya Clarke

Tanya Clarke, a California-based designer and the daughter of environmental activist Tony Clarke makes her own contribution to water awareness with her Liquid Light-Industrial Light Installations. The Liquid Light –Industrial Light Installations are custom-built fixtures that, according to the author, create a visual reminder that water is a precious commodity and that this natural resource must be protected.

The designer makes the fixtures using recycled plumbing, LEDs and art glass. With help of these elements, that seem to be incompatible, Tanya created very unusual lighting devices that are positioned as “ordinary” lamps that can be used for home or street lighting, rather than elements of interior design.

Tanya Clarke, the daughter of Canadian political activist Tony Clarke, says, “The goal of Liquid Light is to promote the protection of one of the precious commodities here on earth, water.” She hand sculpts the glass drops onto the recycled materials, which helps to symbolize the fragility of the element.
