In Tomáš’ studio, beeswax becomes an unlikely hero: fragile and unsuspecting, yet remarkably durable – holding each sculpture together while allowing the bees’ instinct to shape the outcome.
Tomáš builds the framework – a twelve-sided shape called a dodecahedron – and then steps back as thousands of bees take over. The result: a construction made from honeycomb with precision no human could hope to replicate. Each artwork follows the same starting point, yet none of them ever take the same shape.
In our conversation, Tomáš talks about control (and giving it up), what it means to wait for nature’s timeline, and why working with living creatures forces him to rethink control entirely. He also shares the stories behind our new series together – if you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when thousands of tiny artists come together for one sculpture, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
