Bee4 uses the same homemade stencil as several other works in the Bee Series Collection to create the image of the hive. I love how the blues mingle with the soft yellows, the colours not only complement one another but also echo the harmony of the natural world. Rich, white tactile splashes add a sense of unctuousness, inviting the viewer to want to touch as well as look. Yet the plexiglass barrier holds the scene just out of reach, preventing interception into its world.
