“Candle Forms” My curiosities represents my love for candles. Since my candles are not in any type of container they tend to leave random shapes of wax melts all over the place. I don’t know why I keep them but I usually break them off of wherever they’re stuck to and collect them in a …
“Knitted” My mask was inspired by the fabric and textures mukherjee typically uses to make her sculptures.
