Divest, beeswax installation - work in progress

Kath Fries, Divest, 2014, beeswax and ash on wall

Divest traces embodied experiences of impermanence and instability through the tactile material qualities of beeswax and ash. Reflecting on the passage of time and fragility of life, these barnacle-like beeswax forms suggest notions of sanctuary, healing and containment, while the smattered layers of ash conjure feelings of unease and vulnerability.
