This blog documented a series of multimedia artworks I made in 2014 and 2015, exploring bees, beekeeping, social engagement, and interspecies relationship, which led up to my MFA thesis exhibition Honeybee Collectives.

So many people contributed to make this so much more than I could have on my own, and around 100 people visited and participated in the event. Here are some pictures of us setting up the show. I will post documentation of the exhibition soon.

In May, my friend Matt Lind helped me build a top-bar beehive, and I started keeping bees. Sarah Lewison lent her home and joined me on the adventure of becoming beekeepers. I have been documenting this project with sound, video, photography, drawing and writing. I am experimenting with different kinds of interactive digital storytelling to share our experiences. The first chapter is up on my website now as a hyperlink story with an audio option. Click on the image to go there.

Telling the bees is a single-channel, looping video installation about a tradition of telling the bees when a loved one has died. I developed it during an artist residency at Artscape Gibraltar Point, Toronto Islands, Ontario in June-July 2014. It was presented there in July and again at SIU in September.
