Wax testing

wax drawing, I used wax itself to draw, and crush, and use fingers to draw, I find I am more satisfied to draw with hand, because the result include more movement, maybe it is because fingers have warm temperature to melt the max, in this case, I will try to heat palette knife paint.

this testing idea come from the oil splash on newspaper, and the oil will bleed through paper.

the reason to choose wax is because it can overlaps. I like the result on paper because the wax show the movement of flow direction, but next time I will control the fire carefully or it the paper will get brunt like picture I showed ( bottom left). I can imagine this to be a lamp cover, however, I am also want to join my cling film experiment in the testing. Maybe I will try wax on cling film first and see how it works.

"The most important thing in product design is to consider materials. I like to use existing materials into the design. I don't think about whether the materials are good or bad, or how long they will last. A good design is to use the craftsman’s craftsmanship to integrate the existing materials. Rebuild."

Jurgen’s work is experimental and innovative, I like the way he always give the original items a new life/look, the Kokon furniture is the work inspired me, this kind of coated outlook allows people forget about the original/old look of the item.
