Our final product was built up in three sections, through using water to cool the wax and create the form. The form was inspired by caves, and reflects the natural form. The space can then be explored with light and shade.

In the second week we had established our concept fully deciding to focus on the interaction with light and how wax can form an enclosure which represents natural forms.

On our second day of experimentation we decided to look at how burning candles and the wax which is melted this way reacts with other objects. It is a slower process, but gets some interesting results.

Following our experiments we decided we should photograph our end results with different light intensities and at different angles. In some cases the wax sculptures represented inhabitable spaces. From this we will continue to develop our concept by using wire which will hang the wax in an installation.

The result from pouring the wax into the water is different every time and depends on the amount of wax, the temperature and the materials which are used to manipulate the wax when in the water. The wax remains translucent at different levels depending on its thickness.

We began events by experimenting with the equipment and developing a concept in groups of four. Using wax and water we decided to make abstract natural forms and experiment with their interaction with light.
