Free form Sculpting

This artist in Oregon is performing a technique known as Free Form Sculpting. She pours molten wax into a tank of cold water, where it begins to solidify instantly. With each dip, she builds up layers, forming a sculpture by hand. The wax floats on the surface due to its lower density with the cold water bath acting as a cooling agent. The goal is to rapidly harden each layer to create intricate candle designs.
