Grapes

In an attempt to work with negative and positive spaces, especially in relation to nature (i.e. produce haha), I created this monstrosity.

The goal was to create a vessel/vase where the negative space would follow the outline of a bundle of grapes. Unfortunately, and oddly, it proved near impossible to get the grapes out. So in the future I'll have to take a silicone of one grape (because I want the forms to be as close to real as possible), and then I'll have to create my own wax grape vine.

Also, grapes did not like being dipped into wax, it made a weird frothy texture. It wasn't pretty.
