Wax Monuments Wax, Wicks | 2017 - 2021

The Wax Monument series is a proposal for public sculpture. Traditionally, monuments are made to sit and collect a patina, as they withstand change, in an attempt to eternalize a particular reality. I am interested in visualizing change, and building monuments able to keep a living record of activity. By circulating and melting these miniature wax versions of famous monuments, people are given agency over these forms that are normally (legally) untouchable.
