Notes
"The Lord of the Bees echoes a construction I made about twenty years ago using the vent from a Victorian bakery and hand-woven mesh. Watching the artist Hardy Botha tend his bees in Daljosafat reminded me of the structure's archaic nature, as if it were a knight in chain-mail. When I re-drew the image it seemed to become both self-protective and lordly. I had previously used this form in a painting titled "Lord of the Moths", and, as I haven't yet tired of the image I made bees buzz around it as negative spaces on a bright yellow field of colour." —Judith Mason, 20081
