Waxing and Waning, Machine Learning, 2025
Wax on Polystyrene (XPS)
8 W x 8 D x 14 H ft

Waxing and waning are two ways in which things change. These two ways are opposites, but they also alternate with each other. When something has grown to a certain point, it will begin to decline, and having declined to a certain degree, it will begin to grow again. All things in between are a process of waxing and waning in compliance with their inherent characters.

Waxpath/Toolpath AI toolpath generators create continuous, support-free coils through calculated, adaptive pathways. Dhokra artisans achieve the same logic by hand, forming a bronze sculpture from a single wax coil. Both systems are built from one uninterrupted line, one computed, one crafted, where traditional waxpaths and machine toolpaths mirror each other in the act of creation.
