Ingo Maurer lighting designs - Graham Owen insects
Collaboration with Ingo Maurer - Based in Munich Germany
Ingo came to the United States in 2010 to work with me for three days, in a joint effort at refining artistic insects to be incorporated into his creative and beautiful lighting designs. Ingo sparked and stimulated creativity which continues to render a natural and higher beauty to my creations.
Since 2010 Ingo and I have worked on a number of one-off commissions for private collectors. Some collaborations are pictured below, while others remain private and undocumented.
Some products, such as - Bulb-Limited, Flatterby, Johnny B Butterfly, Five Butterflies, and I Ricchi Poveri - Fly, are available for purchase from the Ingo Maurer catalog, showrooms and distributors.

I had a fantastic time in Milan, such an amazing city
Biotope in home
The Biotope is a multi-functional work of art, designed to provide light and dampen sound, by incorporating natural sea sponges, while captivating viewers with a magical sense of nature's beauty, mystery and enchantment.
An underlying theme is green, green, green, with spirits flying high, basically, an environmentally friendly masterpiece, incorporating sustainable harvested sea sponges, combined with man-made insects, presenting luminous atmospheres that play with traditional concepts of color, brightness, and shadow.
The Biotope was commissioned by a private collector, with final installation in an undisclosed location
