Artist Marguerite Humeau spent several months of creative work with the team at Factum Arte to produce the eleven sculptures that formed part of her solo exhibition ‘meys’ at White Cube Bermondsey (April 5 – May 14, 2023). Humeau’s vision pushed both human skill and material limitations, using mostly natural beeswax as well as microcrystalline wax, pigments, and ashes to find and refine the physical form of each piece.
