Art & Spirituality - Wolfgang Laib

Nowhere- Everywhere, 1998 (beeswax)

Wolfgang Laib's Pollen from Hazelnut (1998 - 2000)


Wolfgang Laib uses ephemeral materials such as pollen; along with beeswax, milk and rice, to create sculptures and installations that seem to convey a sense of universal spirituality and peace. Some of his most known works include those in which he collects pollen and spreads it out on the floor in squares that appear to float just above the ground, creating entire experiences that encompass that audience. His larger installations include entire walk-in spaces built from beeswax blocks.
