Jacqui Van Ham




"The chandelier was inspired by my trip out to Loretto to see the Makers Mark distillery. There was a collection of bottles on a table by the door, and the light hitting them stood out to me, and I wanted to recreate that effect with found objects from Makers Mark. The rusted steel barrel rings, charred oak staves, bottles and signature wax all were sourced from the distillery. While it is tempting to cover the whole thing in that signature red wax, I was trying to emphasize that the bottle itself is also a signature, and that no labels or wax is necessary to identify the Makers Mark brand. I was also attempting a more vintage/period feel."
