The Absolute Way of Things
Mendel Art Gallery - Saskatoon - Jaunuary 16 - March 22, 2015
Artist Statement
Using bees as the subject, the works explore the fragile nature of existence, the interplay between
humans and small creatures, and the communication patterns of our world. The large-scale prints
explore the relationships within the hives and how those relationships mimic and contradict those
in the human population. The cyclical nature of both bee and human populations is represented
through the sequential nature of the artwork. The newly recognised loss of bee populations
is commented on through the artwork as well as the historical links bees have with humans.
