Artist Statement<\/h3>\n

Due to the challenges of traveling during a global pandemic, many people have decided to forgo adventures that would have taken them to vast landscapes –\u00a0 places like seaside cliffs or mountain valleys, where scale is a difficult thing to fathom. This photo series presents another portrayal of the challenge of scale – albeit on the opposite end of the size spectrum – by depicting multiple species of wild bees that remind the viewer that scale is a matter of perspective. As each photo moves increasingly closer to the subjects, the viewer is forced eye-to-eye with pollinators that they may otherwise miss. By doing this, the piece urges viewers to take action to conserve and protect pollinators for their beauty and complexity as well as the integral part they play in our backyards, farms, and greater ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n
