| Wax Skellington, Chaz Howkins, 2015, wax |
Our brief was to create a wax cast of a piece of fruit; I first considered casting various fruits such as bananas and a lemon to put together to create a figure or doll but thought this may be a little over ambitious. Instead I carved a Jack Skellington face into an apple to make it appear like a smaller scale pumpkin carving and created a wax cast of it. I feel the end result was quite successful as the texture of the wax makes the face seem aged and somewhat eerie.
