As part of the group exhibition Articulate Turns Four: Colour, Form, Line, I'm exhibiting one of my Divest installations. This site-responsive work is made of beeswax and ash, interpreting the exhibition's themes of line and form - as the vertical line of the pillar and the cylindrical forms of the beeswax polyps. This work explores uncontainablity and seeping intersections between artifice and nature.
Beeswax polyp forms cluster within an upright crevice of the gallery, seemingly
seeping outwards to gradually invade the space. These aromatic translucent
shapes suggest embodied presence but their surfaces are smattered with ash,
which in turn conjures a sense of uneasiness, vulnerability and loss.

Colour, Form, Line is a theme-based group show curated by William Seeto for the end-of-year annual exhibition titled Articulate Turns Four. The exhibition theme of colour, form and line sets the context by providing a framework that enables discourse, and offers a means of connecting diverse art practices.
