“With Tomáš LibertÍny we went straight into a panel of bees”

Tomáš Libertíny’s wax creations result from collaborative work with bees. They build their hive around a pre-formed structure, in a process orchestrated by the master’s hand. Such is life… That of a the living flower that produces the nectar involved in the construction of a vase intended to contain it once picked.
