Candle Object is a project by Matt Dowdy, based in Richmond, Virginia. A material practice in atmospheric media. Cultivating a fog of devotion, since 2019.
Each object is made from pure beeswax, individually dipped using traditionally informed techniques and sculpted into shifting forms, organic, archaic, naturally beyond. The process of dipping, shaping, and sculpting creates pieces that are all unique, but channel the universal function of a candle, to bring light and atmosphere, to slow it all down as the wax disappears.

portrait and wordmark by Ren Schwarz
a light, flame across the room
calling forth waves from the other side.
scattered all around,
is there a point at which it originates.
flowing slowly along a path
but as fast as anything can be.

light is a fall
down release
from where black goes.
flames, nothing.

suspended between fibers, a myth
that glimmers golden in the memory of language.

forever remains unknown,
like that point, a wave of nothingness.
