Say It / Don't Spray It & Melted Dreams (2023)

"You call this art?!" There is always this debate, crafts vs art. The pieces created for this viewing are about diving into that age-old question, what is considered art.

The Vagina Candle: Ice Cream Dreams (2021)

Rosebud. Happy Valley. Snatch. The world has an enduringly complicated relationship with the vagina, one filled with much debate. Vilified by religions as a gateway to sin due to its perceived mysterious, almost supernatural powers, yet imbued with wonder and awe as human life literally springs forth from it, the vagina possesses a power that is fearsome, revered, intriguing and beguiling. To celebrate the beauty and mystique of the powerful female sex, Wick+Wax presents the Vagina Candle. Bejeweled and nestling on top of a tantalizing sugar cone, this candle encapsulates all the things that make the vagina so alluring. Available in three "flavors": Cream of White Widow; Purple Paradise; Ice Cream Candy Mimosas, this art piece speaks to the power of womanhood, the foundation of all things feminine, the contradictions, and all the nuances in between. The vagina—Mother of all Souls—is powerful, precious, life-giving, fun and…of course, delicious. The Wick+Wax Vagina Candle pays tribute to the complex beauty of the female sex. - June Joseph

Starting 2018 with a bang! Last month we are proud to have participated as a brand in the Agenda Capsule Trade Show NYC at Community54's cash and carry exhibition booth.	The experience was everything all the heads in the industry hype up and brag about. Top brand booths, giveaways, unique cultural collectors, you name it! Big shout out 2 the Communtiy54 family for sharing such an amazing experience with us.

It's official: we 'out here! WickandWax and Spunizm, aka BK DAZED, at Artists and Fleas Williamsburg (2017)! Where candles and clothes connect!	"It's not about the destination but the journey" Nothing could better describe WickandWax finally featuring our candles in a brick & mortar establishment in Chicago. I am ecstatic to have Chicago Truborn Gallery & Boutique carrying our hand-crafted mini spray paint CANdles (2017). Chicago Truborn is a "community based 'anti' gallery/art coalition dedicated to supporting all mediums of artistic creation with emphasis on street/urban/outsider art." Clearly an ideal fit for WickandWax.

Beginning summer 2016, we started adding in discarded wax from restaurants in NYC. Instead of throwing it out, I take what's left, melt the wax down and craft lovely candles. From what was once potentially garbage, UPCYCLE! Keeping it granola def about that life! Create, Light, Burn!

About Wick+Wax: I have been a crafter of candles and molds for over a decade. Based in New York, I craft for the people. Using candles as a medium not only to create olfactive bliss, but also to use as voice of expression. We all have a story we tell, ours is through the craft of candle making.

Please read all WARNING LABELS and instructions before lighting any candle and NEVER leave a candle burning unattended.
