After considering what aspects of the wax in water experiment stood out to me I realized I was interested in using wax as a way of holding onto something.
Trying to hold onto the movement of water seems almost impossible and on some level absurd. This is often how i feel about holding onto a lot of things, especially small objects that I keep and impose a lot of personal value onto. But I'm not really holding onto the object as much as I'm holding onto what it means to me and the items are then rarely used or even looked at and therefore the situation seems to have a certain amount of absurdity.
I poured wax around four different 'keepsake' objects to almost encase them and make them useless and even more difficult to find any reason to hold onto them.







The objects in order: an appealing block of wood, a hand sewn valentine, shards of a broken mug, a pair of my grandma's earrings

First piece of the semester. Working with: found objects, acrylic paint, and latex rubber. I'm looking forward to experimenting even more with these kinds of materials.

Trying to isolate the moment when your muscles begin to shake and you physically can't do something anymore. I tried a bunch of different processes and ways of achieving this, this one worked the best because the duration was closer to what i wanted than others.
