The Bee and The Golden Weave, is inspired by my investigation into nature and the plight of the bee. I have used clear glass throughout and the bee and weave design have been painted using traditional high fire paints. All painted details have been layered and textured to create the illusion of depth. The bee’s wings and the hive cells have been etched using hydrofluoric acid to increase the sensual perspective. The hexagonal weave has been water gilded with 23.5 carat gold and silver. Gold and silver have also been used on the hive cells and the wings. The glass has been layered with the cells etched on the back of the glass and the bee painted on the front. The bee’s wings are painted on a top sheet of glass. This layering again provides depth and actual movement and overshadowing. The panel has been assembled using traditional leaded techniques.
