Composed of comical carved and painted wax candles, Korn creates a miniature world that is a contemporary mashup of iconic age-old fairy tales, and the characters, objects and architecture that inhabit them. Korn sets the stage with unexpected scenes and plays out new versions of very old stories, some of which date back 6,000 years. For Old Tale, Fort Makers invited Korn to focus her craft and knowledge of candle making to create a new link in the golden chain of folklore. Shown together as one narrative scene surrounding a central forest, her sculptures explore fundamental timeless truths as they evoke the mystery and magic of the fairy tale world. Old Tale riffs on the “same old stories” about the forces of good and evil, physical metamorphosis, and the fight for survival, and manifests how these themes are still relevant.
