During my residency with Fremantle Arts Centre this month, I've been developing my Divest beeswax installation project and playing with different ways that this work can inhabit various spaces. I wanted to try and embed the funnels so they grew seamlessly out of the vertical surface of the window, and I found that the warm beeswax is malleable enough to stretch out into a thin marbled, dimpled, translucent membrane. When spread across the diamond grid of the leadlight window, bright sunlight from outside is filtered and softened - almost like being inside a living eggshell. I was equally fascinated by the way that the beeswax membrane peeled off the window like a skin being shed, and the funnels left behind intriguing subtle trace, like ghostly footprints on the old glass surfaces.
