ANDRÉ PUBLIC SCULPTURES
Wax Casting - 9m Mandela Sculpture - Union Buildings - Pretoria - 2013
As the mould pieces were stripped off the sculpture, it immediately went to the Wax Room were the wax was applied and each panel was again ID’ed and the gated with Runners, risers & pouring cups. This was done whilst the wax was still in the mould as to maintain the integrity of the shape of each piece. There were a total of 178 pieces – a massive puzzle to be assembled by the welders & fettlers!
