During her residency, Elize Vossgätter quietly advanced a body of work rooted in her continued exploration of wax, a material shared by bees, plants, humans and petroleum. In her hands, wax becomes a threshold: between the organic and synthetic, the sculptural and the painterly, the fragile and the enduring. Her practice unfolds within the tensions of transformation and precarity, drawing from the climate crisis not as subject matter but as atmosphere. Through this mutable medium, she navigates humanity’s contradictory impulses, to nurture and to destroy, while reflecting on the hybrid ecosystems we inhabit and shape. Her residency culminated in an exhibition titled systemic, which you can learn more about here.
