ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Growing up during a war, the power was out frequently and candles were an almost daily necessity. The world of dim light and shadows was endlessly fascinating to me as a child, as was the opportunity to play and experiment with candles and melted wax. I remember dripping the wax from a 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 by 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 as surprising and exciting. Works in this ongoing series are created by casting wax into water. The pieces capture an action and freeze it in time. As in many of my works, the process has a substantial element of unpredictability. The final result, textures resembling cooled lava or the surface of some distant planet, is revealed only after the work is completed.

Steve Wanna
United States
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.
