About MeThese candlesticks demonstrate Hope's preoccupation with surfacedecoration. He combines the element of functionality with ornamentation
and an emphasis on surface texture which creates a sense of movement .
He believes his work should be enjoyed and approachable explaining,
"Preciousness is a hindrance. Usefulness a happy bonus."
