Now that I got a rough concept and idea on the shape of the model – I will need to find a way of ‘melting’ it.
Heat and Light
I can use heat from a light bulb/ spot like to heat the model. Alternatively use a heater or fire to heat it from the ground… as the minimum melting point of wax is 65’C – I think it will be a pretty hot room to stand in…. hmm
Making my own wicked candle
Can I stack the model with a wick curled round it – or several wicks inserted into the model?
Several wicks in model

| As you can see, the model doesn't disintegrate completely... |
Coiling the wick around model
Looking at the images above- neither wick experiments have achieved what I want- sections of the model was not able to completely melt which defeats the idea of demolishing a structure entirely.
Thinking back to the original concept of wax sculpturing, I have mentioned I wanted to take ‘wax’ away from the ‘candle’ perception – I guess adding wicks to the model collaborate the 2 together naturally.
Oops- back to drawing board
