All the wax was melted with the use of a heated crucible. The original pellet form of the wax can be seen here

The wax forms were photographed, lights were used at a variety of angles to help show different details within the wax, as well as show the translucent properties the wax

After creating the hanging wax forms, they were melted back down in order to create more forms, this time focusing on creating thin, waving sheet type structures. These were created by pouring the wax slowly on top of the water

Hanging Wax
The initial idea after the first experiments was to hang the wax forms via fishing line and light them to show the translucent properties of the material

Experiment One, this initial experiment was produced to see how the wax would be sculpted by cold water. Through observation it seemed that the faster the wax is poured the more extruded the shape becomes
