“The Southern Vermont Arts Center is pleased to partner with New England Wax to showcase a medium that’s both ancient and contemporary. N.E.W.’s artists have done an incredible job responding to the exhibition’s multidimensional theme of relationships, and their diverse creations will undoubtedly engage, delight, and inspire SVAC’s visitors.The relationship an artist has with her materials is unique, highly personal, and ultimately foundational—without it, there would be no art. I see this as the meta-relationship underpinning Relationships: hot/cold/intricate, in which 30 artists offer their individual take on the concept. Their responses range from the personal to the aesthetic to the metaphysical. Seen together, they provide viewers with a thought-provoking exploration of both the theme’s and the medium’s multidimensionality. In wax, layers, texture, and color combine to create an irresistible effect that invites viewers to step into their own relationship with each work of art.”
