Art, the conscious, creative process to produce aesthetic objects, may be found in many shapes and sizes. Our potential to imagine the possibilities,  organic and manmade,  is often trapped in our everyday environment.  In the things we use and discard, and what may have been necessary, but now lies dormant.  Jeffrey Spring and the artisans at Modern Art Foundry explore instinctual and visceral sensations to the world we live in, and present them as MAF Design Works, hoping to perhaps provide another view...

The art of lost wax casting, practiced for over 4000 years, is an incredibly precise metal casting technique.  Properly executed, it ensures accurate, detailed reproduction of an original sculpture.  Historically used for many types of work from miniature to colossal in size,  the process allows for variations in finish and final appearance.  Artistic and labor intensive, projects may take weeks or more leading to ultimate value in every creation.
