Mary Early is a sculptor who lives and does her work in Washington DC. She makes her sculptures out of beeswax and wood. For her work to be shown at its best, lighting is very important to it. She talked about how reflection and shadow are the two things that she want show in her work. The process that is done to the sculpture is that beeswax is brushed on and heated to make the work glossy. The work is then buffed and placed together. She said that she liked making things with her hands, but the ending results do not look like it. Also because of the type of beeswax used, it leaves a smell. 


I like the work because it uses materials that most people or artist are afraid to use.
