A little while ago, I was approached by someone with a bunch of candles. He asked me if I could turn them into objects, with which I could showcase each of their own unique characteristics. This series would ultimately create a deeper look into makers, the material they use and the way they use them.

Part 2/3

The name RPC, which stands for ‘Revalation Per Candle’, is a wordplay on the abbreviation RPM. This deepening into why these different types of wood and ways of turning would work well together, was made using the candle stands that were left after creating ‘everted’ and ‘Turn around’. The different colors and woodgrains of the wood are both emphasized and unified by first removing the layers of varnish/paint that where covering the wood. After the natural grains and colors of the wood where revealed to the world again, a glossy coating was used to really make these elements of the wood pop. The coating, which is normally used for boats, is layered on the object in about 10 layers, to draw extra attention to the different colors and woodgrain, giving them a way to shine.
