Works in this ongoing series are created by casting wax into metal frames. As in other works, these pieces capture an action, that of pouring wax into water, and freeze it in time. Here, too, the process of making the works has a substantial element of unpredictability and the final result is revealed only after the work is completed.

The idea behind this work came from playing with candles as a child. Growing up during a war, the power was out frequently and candles were a regular necessity. I remember always playing and experimenting with melted wax. One of those experiments was testing what would happen if I dripped the wax from the candle into a cup of water sitting by my bed. After waiting for the wax to dry, I flipped the small disc over and was excited to the resulting texture of small dimples. It took over thirty years to come back to this idea, but the process is still as playful and the results exciting.

Steve Wanna is a multi-disciplinary sound and visual artist whose work includes music, sound design for dance collaborations, sculpture, installation, photography, and works for mixed media. Born and raised in Lebanon, he immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of 15, receiving a doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Maryland in 2004. His chief research and creative interest is the phenomenon of emergence. His works often incorporate electronics and interactive software to create pieces that exist in a state of becoming rather than being. In contexts both visual and sonic, the artist often relinquishes total control to become a contributing agent in a larger ecosystem that gives rise to the work. His compositions have received national and international performances and his artwork has been presented in galleries and venues across the United States. He has been teaching Sound Recording and Music Technology at the college level for the past decade.
