Phoenix has to be the number one city for inadvertently melted calamities via cars in the summertime, including crayons, chocolate, and ChapStick. Being able to salvage anything melted can be futile, which is why we’re blown away by the expertise in wielding melted material in “Fuse: Encaustic Group Exhibition.”
