House

House (above) was informed by watching the documentary Rachel Whiteread, House (below).
I became interested in revealing inner structures. I made a plaster mold of a clay cube, soldered a steel 3D grid, and used the mold to coat the steel in a layer of beeswax. The structure inside the wax cube becomes visible through the thin skin of beeswax.

Process photos of creating this piece and the Documentary: Rachel Whiteread, House (1993) video are available below.
