The process of lost wax bronze casting is intensive and rewarding. The act of sculpting wax with the hand is emphasized in the curvatures created in this piece. The object was rigorously sanded to reflect light and encourage human interaction with the small five inch sculpture. As the hand moves about the piece, natural oils present in the skin are drawn into the sculpture and darken the object; living and changing.
