Best known for his line drawings of everyday objects, Craig - Martin’s 'Light Bulb' earrings are a unique translation of the sentiment of line drawing upon a 3D form. They have no fixings, rather their shape - modelled on the form of a small old fashioned light bulb – pierces directly through the ear like a giant hoop creating the appearance of an unbroken line. An interactive manifestation of Craig - Martin’s lively practice.
