This Summer the George household was taken over by bee's. With a total of 5 hives, 2 unfortunate swarming incidents and hundreds of jars of honey the garden has been busy to say the least. As I'm looking for inspiration for texture and different shapes I decided to get the kit on and get a closer look at the hives. Above are two pictures I took of the honey combs I love the shape and structure created by the honey comb as the bees fill them with more honey. The images on the left are of an exhibition by Lauren Bon, even though ours tastes too good to be used for anything other than eating, its interesting to see other ways it can be used and appreciated. I particularly like the sculpture where the bees wax is combined with bronze.The image in the middle at the top is of a bug house, the textures and colours created by the different wood's gives a really earthy stripped back look, I would like to achieve these effects in knit by using different textured wool.
