A Week With Wax
Annabel Wightman, James Page and I set ourselves the task of working within a gallery environment to build an exhibition experimenting with the versatility of wax. Wax has been used in sculpture throughout the ages for casting and modelling and is often a hidden process. We felt the need to bring the material to the foreground by exposing some of the ways in which it could be used. Annabel has used microcrystalline wax poured into moulds made of alginate and plaster scrim. James has used dipping and pouring methods with wax and incorporated this with mixed media. I used modelling wax to create sculptural forms.
