Upcoming Show

DENATURED: Honeybees + Murano

May 29 – October 31, 2013

Follow my Tumbler blog!

"DENATURED: Honeybees + Murano" is a site-specific exhibition in Venice conjoining two distinct, poetically similar, highly endangered systems of collaborative labor: honeybees and the hive (natural) + glass makers and the factories of Murano (social). Working with beekeepers, I have installed hives and a bee-friendly garden in Murano, and created unique Honey Vessel sculptures, and brought many of the finest pieces from the Bee Series and a new video to Venice for this exhibition. "DENATURED" will bring environmental, social, and historical issues to an international audience. >>more

The colors of Luna Piena's hand blown Murano glass spheres are inspired by Tiepolo frescos in Venice.

LUNA PIENA/FULL MOON is for everyone who has ever wondered, How did we get here? Where are we going and Why are we here?

The Bees

A Work In Progress

Red Bee

Monumental Beehive

Hunter Bee

Pollination

When I saw that Einstein had said, “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination...no more men,” I began researching Colony Collapse Disorder, a recent worldwide phenomenon in which worker bees from a beehive or honey bee colony abruptly disappear, leading to the death of the hive. Soon after, I was building beehives in my studio, one cell at a time, just as the honeybee does.
