hive, 1999-2001
mixed media

The beehive is made of rope which was
wrapped over a wire framework, and then melted
beeswax was brushed over the whole thing.  I
used a few coats for get the effect I wanted.
There are thin wires held up by pins in the surface
of the book.  The tiny ovals are the work "star" cut
out of an old book of poetry.  I meant them to
look like bees doing their dance, communicating
direction to the hive.  The beehive is a familiar
symbol in Mormonism, but is also used in Free-
masonry.
