Matoke Leaf light installation-. suspended between two stories in an architecturally minimal Bauhaus residence in Nairobi, Kenya. Individually hand-beaten Fold Formed brass leaves were patinated and etched to reveal a delicate network of veins. Each leaf is fitted with LED light to accentuate the play of light and shadow descending down the void.
