TONK!

(2017)

TONK! Is a wax-dipping machine inspired by the old technique of dipping candles. The dipping frame is used to ‘draw’ new designs. The result of this dipping process will be used as a mould and will be realized in bronze using the old technique of lost wax casting. Combining these two authentic processes a unique piece is produced every single time. The uniqueness of these pieces is inherent to the process since every ‘wax design’ is sacrificed during the casting process. Besides bronze, other finishes are also possible and will be explored in the future.
