I made some major adjustments today to help communicate the fall/possible extinction of the bee.

Photographed with the lights on, without the shadows.
I also added a pile of dead bee and plant parts under the piece.
The project: I am starting to rough out the artist statement.
“Impact” is a new body of work composed of lenticulars, kinetic sculptures and sculptures. “Impact” forewarns the use of pesticides such as Glyphosate have on the bee population. “The herbicide glyphosate is expected to be innocuous to animals, including bees, because it targets an enzyme only found in plants and microorganisms. However, bees rely on a specialized gut microbiota that benefits growth and provides defense against pathogens.” - https://www.pnas.org/content/115/41/10305
The Rusty patch bee was added to the endangered species list a few months ago.
