Artist Statement
This project was completed in two phases.
The first phase was intensive material research inspired by artist, Richard Serra and his lists of action verbs. I chose five different objects and preformed different actions on them and recorded their results. Immediately, I was drawn to pigmented wax, more specifically crayons.

Phase two consisted of creating a sculpture with my new found material, crayons. Melting the crayons and watching the swirls of color intermingle reminded my of the layering of rocks. I decided to run with these results and create a topographical inspired representation of the Grand Canyon using the structure and pigments of the melted crayons on paper to form the walls.
