Mold Making: Sonya Vasquez Wax Artist
Sonya Vasquez is an artist that makes wax figures of real people. She works with the Wax Museum to amaze replicas of famous people. She begins by taking a mold of the person. She takes different molds of each part of the body. She then fills in the molds with wax. She pays such close attention to detail, and the figures look very life-like.
I used the laser cutter for my final project, there is a video that goes with it, I have posted the link to VIMEO below.

I had originally purely wanted to make an object that would originally not be able to float, to float. Although my final project did produce this outcome, I noticed that a different concept could be associated with this work. I decided to link this work to the idea of the shortage of clean water on earth. Upon doing more research i noticed that humans have polluted, diverted and allowed fresh water to be contaminated by seawater, along with the global warming dilemma melting the fresh water ice caps.
WIM DELVOYE
Gothic style works
Laser Cut Steel
I really admire very elaborate gothic architecture. This series of Wim Delvoye interests me because of the extremely intricate details the laser cutter is able to capture to create a larger form.
