Beside to try out with wax, (white colour), I also try with oil today. Although they can create similar effect, I find oil is harder to control the flow direction compared to wax because wax will get solidified when the temperature gets low and oil does not. Also, the touch of wax itself is smoother, so in this case I will still following to try out more experiment with wax.
Artist research
Rachel Whiteread
Long-vacant and uninhabited places are often easily forgotten. Rachel likes to let those abandoned items regain their lives. Because they are second-hand, they are full of traces of intimacy, and Rachel's job is to imprint them on the sculpture.
From this research, I can understand more about how to build up my concept, because she is doing something similar to save the memory/history which she thinks people might forget. and I would like to research deeply about her making process as well, because the outcome looks clean and nest, however it takes time to fill in the cement or resin.
