after about a billion iterations on what to do with wax I think that I have decided on this one. Originally, as an accident (me spilling and then trying to wipe up a bunch of hot wax with a paper towel) the delicate translucent nature of wax really comes through when it freezes a 1-ply piece of toilet paper in time. I found that the irregular nature of the edge was the most interesting part and it also creates the most depth in light and shadows when put up to the window. Do I play with colored tissue paper too?

  1. I think your best approach would be to try and increase the density of the folds. This would create places within the piece that were darker than what we see here, which would provide a larger spectral gradient to the experience.
