Darian Lajoie. Brahms’ Hive; 5x7 inches (9 x 7 framed); 2014; encaustic, paper, wasp nest. $45 I confess to a fascination with words, music and communication. This piece is a mix of music, shredded words, and encaustic meant to convey the influence of music and conversation on a nest built in the vicinity of a composer’s flat. The harmony of music can be compared to the mathematical precision of a honeycomb, and the words and music that is happening in the human world near the nest both influences and is influenced by the nature around it. Sweet harmony.
