Canadian artist Aganetha Dyck has collaborated with an unlikely artist, they’re honeybees! Fittingly, her artshow is called “Guest Workers” and her sculptures are centred around a display featuring a living beehive. Working with the insects results in completely unexpected forms in honeycomb which can be surprising and even humorous. “They remind us that we and our constructions are temporary in relation to the lifespan of earth and the processes of nature,” according to curator Cathi Charles Wherry from the Ottawa School of Art where they are on exhibit now. She goes on to say, “This raises ideas about our shared vulnerability, while at the same time elevating the ordinariness of our humanity.”
