Found Wax Exhibit Opening at Dartmouth Cultural Center
May 1 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
“Found Wax,” a free exhibition on sculpture, ecology, and material process, opens with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. May 1 at the Dartmouth Cultural Center. It is the first joint show in 35 years for married artists Susan Medyn and David Formanek.
Medyn works with honeybee colonies. She places frameworks in active hives. Bees build, reshape, or dismantle them.
Formanek focuses on wax. He uses a process rooted in lost wax casting. He creates swirling forms. He adds small sculpted figures. The works become wall-mounted reliefs.
Both are beekeepers. The exhibition explores transformation, structure, and the line between intention and emergence.
