Doppelgangers, artists, and burning the candle at only one end

More doppelgangers, this time in candle wax, and cast to look like their creators:

It was a performance piece:

We cast ourselves as candles in a mixture of beeswax and parafine with a wick running through the center from head to feet. We lit the candles at the beginning of our show in PPOW Gallery and we let the candles burn and run their course throughout the exhibition. Our candle bodies slowly melted away for the duration of the show.
