pony up. is a wax medium studio largely working with
Beeswax.
endlessly reusable, never entirely static… alive.
It responds to it’s environment; heat, cold,
light, touch, time + air. Softens, hardens, crystallises,
cracks, blooms, changes colour and scent.
Every sculpture starts out as a solid block
of beeswax, ethically sourced from a female
owned and run farm in Portugal.
Hand carved, one at a time…slowly, with all
it’ properties in mind. When the wax
is softer, beads are rolled and when it’s
harder, carved like wood. Embracing the
bloom colour changes and textures. every one
entirely unique. No artificial scents
are added to maintain the natural fragrance.
These sculptures are objects and candles;
made to keep, display, love…burn
