Wax Jacks
1172, Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, New York, NY, United States
Wax Jacks was an installation done for GSAPP’s 2010 Alumni Weekend.
With the stipulation of creating a large installation that could be broken
up into parts and given to the attendees, the designers developed a
shape that could be stacked in many configurations, but also exist as a
sculptural object on its own. To push the concept of a “party favor”
with a use, numerous tests casting, melting and burning beeswax led to
the form becoming a candle that, when burned, would actually transfer
the flame from each candle to the one below. The sculpture was
installed and disassembled in a single day and never actually burned as a
complete installation in order to preserve the individual favors.
