Continuing to cast in wax




Over the past week or so I have been continuing to experiment with the process of coating clothing in wax, i have started to munipulate the forms of the clothing more, by munipulating them before waxing, eg cutting anf sewing the garments and or by munipulating them afterwards by forming them with the wax. This creates some very dynamic forms and gives the sense of a figure being there without one being present. It is a very interesting process, however it is dificult to plan what the wax will do, it is hard to repeat the same form over again, each garment reacts differently with the wax. I like the fact that you can predict the proccess to an extent but the rest is beyond my control.
