Thinking Small Scale
Creating a Miniature Environment
When I first began brainstorming an environment, I really wanted to connect it to our reality of today and the extinction of animals and insects, specifically bumblebees. The reflective copper color reminded me of honey, and I also had pieces of decorative material that was pre-painted gold. I cut that material into sections to fill in majority of the canister except the back.
My goal is to present my feelings about the importance of this species, although we might have alternatives to do the work bees do, it would not be as efficient. I created a Dead End Sign out of pre-colored yellow large popsicle sticks, so that the viewer can look into our solutions. hence there is "No Other Way" than to protect the bees and create a safer environment.
