#5yrsago Sculptor collaborates with honeybees to cover statues with comb

mostlysignssomeportents:

Canadian artist Aganetha Dyck  carefully coaxes bees into enmeshing tatty porcelain statuary with honeycomb, for a result that is both otherworldly and beautiful, like the remains of a long-fallen civilization on whose bones has arisen an insectoid hive-colony. She calls the bees her “guest workers.” Her work will be on display at the Ottawa School of Art from March 3, 2014 in a show called Honeybee Alterations.

I LOVE CABBAGE PLATES!!! The last time they were super popular was in the mid 19th century but they’ve been around since the 16th century! If you are willing to spend your money on dinner sets that look like cabbages, designers like Bordallo Pinheiro, Tory Burch (above) and Oka sell them.
