My most significant project so far. Creating three life-size figures for lost wax bronze casting, a fascinating and slightly terrifying experience!
The Lost Wax Process
The “Lost Wax” is the process by which a metal sculpture is cast from an artist’s original wax sculpture. This ancient method has being used since the third millenium B.C. and has withstood the centuries, visually telling the tale of past cultures. The “Lost Wax” term derives from the wax replica that is melted out of the investment created, thus it is “lost” to receive the bronze.
