Very few can claim to have tamed fire enough to draw with it, but Steven Spazuk has achieved exactly that through a technique known as Fumage. Spazuk has spent 14 mastering the craft, using the soot from a candle flame to mark special paper then carefully sculpt the remaining soot with brushes and even feathers to create wonderful effects and detail. He values the chance in his work, saying he does not censor his process, instead embracing the immediacy and flow of his technique. He often turns his works into mosaic pieces, taking what would be amazing works on their own, and combining them in one massive work which takes on its own unique meaning.
