Birkenau response #2
Type B brown modelling wax
2017
This imagery is a response I created during the emotional tour of Birkenau in Poland. The modelling wax I used is ever-changing and cannot be the same again. The material is softened by the heat from your hands, moulding and building into itself. It is essential to show my hands as this shows the making process which became more important than the outcome itself. To make this work exercised patience as the task of creating it was a labour-some process, continuously kneading into the wax.
