Sticky Situation
May 06, 2023
The most recent installment of bee themed work created by Jennifer Caldwell and Jason Chakravarty. The full round window installation is on display in downtown Tempe February-May 2023. It includes honey sliding and dripping down all windows. Various sized blown glass honey drips hang at different heights in space. Hand sculpted glass bees swarming and tasting the magical elixir. The floor is outlined with patterned clusters of honeycomb consistent with previous installations.
The artists are drawn to the culture of bees as it relates to human culture. Much of the core of human behaviors are essential in bee colonies as well. The good, bad and ugly side of how we care for our tribe during times of joy and crisis. Working in sync as a colony for the greater good while also making a collective effort to keep sickness out of the tribe. Acknowledging and accepting and contributing our individual roles, based on our personal beliefs, as it pertains to a single larger vision. The honey coated beauty of it all is both sweet and sinful.
