This piece of fabric, found at a thrift shop is 65.5 inches wide by 96.5 inches tall. The pattern speaks of the life cycle of the worker bee, and how it creates the honey comb palace; where the worlds most secret recipe is stored, honey. Honey is the only food in the world that never goes bad, even after centuries of aging. This piece was a surface design project for my GEVA Print Media class this term, spring 2010. Bees hold an important position in the interconnected reproductive botanical cycles in life, they help the flowers and the fruit trees live on and survive. I believe that patterns of the natural world help inspire a reminder to the viewer of their importance in our everyday existence. Bless the bees!
