Each Post Objects form is sculpture with an unusual condition: it is designed to be destroyed. Made by Liz Wycherley in New Zealand, the forms are cast by hand in wax from originals shaped by physical processes. Some are kept on shelves for years. Others are lit within a week. Either way, lighting one is a deliberate act, and the form keeps changing as it burns.
