"Iconoclast Castings"
Hand-poured on Vancouver island this limited-edition collection moves far beyond the seasonal. We've forsaken synthetic clutter for the pure, organic luxury of 100% beeswax, which burns with an incomparable, clean radiance—a natural glow perfectly suited for illuminating the season’s deepest shadows and secrets. These are not merely candles; they are functional, edgy artistic sculptures, designed to be burned, observed, and treasured for their transient, Vanitas beauty.
This piece commands attention, standing at an elegant 3 inches tall with a substantial 4-inch depth, and is finished in a waxy, reddish-bronze food grade powder. The way the light catches it gives it a slightly metallic or iridescent look, especially around the eye sockets and forehead, creating a dramatic, luminous effect.
Our Skull candle is a masterful work that refuses the simple macabre. It is cast not as a symbol of fear, but as a profound meditation. While often associated with the veil of death, this form holds a deeper artistic and philosophical resonance, representing the seat of the mind, the relentless pursuit of wisdom, and the complex, beautiful tapestry of a life well-examined. For the collector who views existence as a continuous, elegant cycle, the skull symbolizes transformation and rebirth—not a grim finality, but a powerful, brilliant beginning.
