Benji Sheppard, Design Academy Eindhoven 2026 graduate, multimedia designer and storyteller from St. Augustine, Florida, creates work influenced by experiences in the conservative South, religious deconstruction, and class division. He communicates complex experiences through various mediums, from steel to sound, adapting the approach to each project's unique demands.
A physical archive of imprints of objects around my workspace, recorded just before its deconstruction. The lamp signifies the temporality of the creative process and all the fleeting attempts to grasp and document the process.
The internal structure is supported by steel rods and is wired with a lighting kit. It can stand alone, but also has the required support to function as a hanging lamp. Imprints are made by draping and shaping paper over an object, and hardening it with a rice flour-based glue solution.
