In Candles (Nature Series no. 87), silk threads surround pieces of bamboo filled with wax and placed in a line that evokes funerals and Buddhist practices. A complex meditation on giving, Candles refers to a 9th-century Chinese poem that likens the candle’s last drop of wax to the silkworm’s last bit of thread. Here, the generosity of the wax is supported by the bamboo, which symbolises integrity, in turn surrounded by a protective silk cloud.
