frugi bonae: “to or for the good fruit … being honest and temperate, dedicated to long-term flourishing: as vital for human beings as for the earth itself” (Harry Eyres in Financial Times, May 23-24, 2009).
“This mixed media body of work explores collective cause and effect, in particular relations between humankind and the environment and extends a broad artistic concern with generational legacies. Bees are a primary source of inspiration, in concept and medium. The artist came to view these pollinators, at the time under various kinds of stresses worldwide, as broader environmental indicators.
