Beekeeper, 2020
Bees can be violent and unpredictable. A Keeper must live with the understanding that they could get stung, but for them, it is worth it in order to harvest sweet honey. Beekeeper is an authentic depiction of staggered recovery. The work explores an ongoing reestablishment of the artist’s relationship with men; not as individuals but as an ambiguous concept. It considers the confused correlation between this and an understanding of her own feelings of vulnerability as a woman. This work was made in an attempt to reflect upon fear, threat and trust in a manner which is safe and accessible. For the artist, this work consolidated the continuation of life, new experience and growth.
