The Art Box - Episode 472 - From Lost Wax to Intelligent Mirrors: The Art of Bradley Marston

In Episode 472 of The Art Box, we sit down with photographer and artist Bradley Marston to explore a creative journey that began in a small Utah town and continues today through his innovative Intelligent Mirror process. Bradley shares memories of growing up near an artist who created statues of John Wayne. What began with mowing lawns and doing odd jobs eventually led young Bradley into the artist’s studio, where he helped with the fascinating lost-wax casting process—an early experience that helped shape his lifelong interest in how art is made. That fascination with process remains at the heart of Bradley’s work today. We discuss his commitment to developing repeatable methods that maintain artistic quality and consistency, and how years of experimentation have led to his evolving Intelligent Mirror process. The work has already earned recognition and awards at his local gallery, but Bradley continues to refine, question, and push the process forward. It’s a conversation about craftsmanship, experimentation, patience, and the idea that sometimes the process of creating art can become an art form itself.
