How to use
1. Fill the lamp, up to the hole, with vegetable oil of your choice (olive, sunflower, almond, castor). Be careful, some oils with more impurities can produce a little black smoke (canola)
2. Wait for the wick to soak (about 2 minutes)
3. Turn on!
4. During use, if you see the flame decrease in intensity, add oil. There is no limit to the number of times you can add oil.
The next time you use it, make sure the oil level in the lamp is high.
As for the wick, it is not necessary to trim it before each use. If it is too burnt, pull it out a little (about 5 mm) and trim the end instead of cutting; the wick will last longer.

Keven is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher. After working as a professional dancer for several years, he discovered contact with a new material: ceramics. His sensitivity to the felt body permeates both his ceramic practice and his research. Indeed, he is particularly inspired by the everyday experience of matter, the body, and the object. In his ceramic practice, Keven is interested not only in creating objects, but also in the experience of them; in the intersubjective experience between human and matter; in the relational experience that develops through contact with the object. The hand rests, the eye stops, and the body turns toward the encounter. The objects that Keven creates are objects that inhabit space and time, objects that change over the course of interactions, which, themselves, leave their traces.

Alongside his artistic practice, Keven obtained his Ph.D. from McGill University in Rehabilitation Sciences, during which he examined the role of risk and improvisation in daily care practices in the context of dementia. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Université de Montréal in public health within Dr. Olivier Ferlatte's Qollab Laboratory, working on the experience of peer support in 2S/LGBTQIA+ communities in the context of suicide.
