Janie Korn
Janie Korn’s wax oddities are inspired by the obscure and intriguing, with candles honoring a range of offbeat and overlooked subjects. After years spent working in claymation and ceramic sculpture, New York–based visual artist Janie Korn began waxwork in her eponymous label’s distinct style. Whimsical handcrafted candles reference pop culture, everyday items, and celebrity icons. Created by experimenting with proportions of wax and pigment, the candles hold their shapes as sculptural objects for long-term display. Janie Korn’s imperfectly verisimilar, handmade candles bring wonder and a sense of magic to any space.
