Banks, Ore. artist Harlan Courtney tranforms metal into softly undulating vessels and glowing light fixtures such as Luminary Bob, an 8-foot-tall light fixture modeled after an antique plumb bob. He made the pendant for his sister when she was building a new house (“she kept saying she was going to take a plumb bob and make sure all the walls were straight!” he says); the copper fixture now hangs in the center of her spiral staircase.
