Public Art for Pollinators, 2022

Raleigh, NC

The Pollinator Hotel is an invitation into a story about the life of bees, while the  sculpture’s features help the bees locate and set up housekeeping in this refuge. This  hotel is an abstracted reinterpretation of a bee wing with a holographic black finish,  translating for our eyes the way bees perceive light—in iridescent, ultraviolet colors.  The delicate lattice wing structure is composed of lines duplicated over the path of  kinematic patterns, and echos the motion of beating wings.
