Bee Pile
2010
block printing on hand-sewn felt
Bee Pile combines the elements of block printmaking, installation, and public art. On view here are over two hundred bees printed and hand-sewn by the artist to draw attention to colony collapse disorder, the unexplained disappearance of the honeybee that pollinates crops. Originally displayed in a grocery store, this project is part of a series that critiques overconsumption and disproportionate waste production.
