With the presence of a work twice its size, this marvelous lamp serves as a perfect example of Laura Kirar's creative process, which she likens to speaking in tongues. It is by this spiritual process that Kirar wields traditional Mexican materials and techniques to express the stuff of her dreams--thereby endowing her altogether fresh modern aesthetic with historical significance.
