Shaman

Original Sculptural Lighting by Bobby Anderson, RVA246

Shaman knows how the winds will change. Will it be bad? Will it be good? Give his arms a spin and let him decide.

Built from reclaimed metal, industrial components, found objects, and repurposed bicycle parts, Shaman combines light, movement, and a little theater. His arms rotate vertically toward the viewer, each hand carrying a mask for positive or negative vibes. Spin them and let fate choose which one rises.

A compact LED light glows upward through his decorated headdress, while openings around the top of the head catch and illuminate the masks as they move. A vintage glass marble eye adds another point of character, and the rear toggle switch keeps the lighting easy to control.

The Winds of Change

Shaman turns reclaimed parts into a kind of mechanical oracle. His spinning arms add movement and play, while the illuminated headdress gives the piece a strong presence after dark.

Part sculpture, part lamp, part fortune-teller, he is built to bring character, curiosity, and a little uncertainty into the room.

There is only one Shaman.
