The bricks are placed back into a mould, roughly the same size as the original brick. Although these bricks were salvaged from my neighbors back yard i feel that more historically significant materials would tell a more interesting story. My ultimate goal for this project would be to have many more of these bricks and in a manner of speaking, rebuild a fallen wall. I think using the actual fallen materials, with varying amounts of wax/brick and then placed in its original setting would be quite moving. Maybe after some time in the sun the wax bricks will somehow collapse and become its own ruin once again.
I feel that this is only the beginning. I could vary the type of materials, using large cmu or even old termite ridden wood beams. Questions, comments, suggestions? Most of comments i have heard have been rather positive so more critical eyes are welcome to as well. More bricks are on the way.
