In our increasingly industrialized society, we've become estranged from craftsmanship and creation processes. My work seeks to honor these forgotten connections. This installation reimagines the lost wax casting technique—traditionally used to create metal objects—by casting a lock, jewelry, and tooth crowns in wax itself rather than metal. Using both found objects and 3D prints as models, I've installed these wax casts on raw materials from which lost wax is derived: beeswax, coal, and wood. I did this to acknowledge the natural materials used in the creation of the final object, once again honoring the process. By elevating the normally discarded intermediate medium (wax) to the final art form, I question the hierarchy of materials while celebrating the often invisible components of craftsmanship. Through this inversion of process and product, "Capturing Lost Wax" invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with objects, materials, and the hidden labor of creation.
