I contributed 5 pieces of my Zen Garden series to The Honeycomb Project. The project is a 3 year traveling exhibition that features hundreds of artworks on wooden panels. Contributions by dozens of artists working in Nevada, Idaho, California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona make up this inspiring project.
Organizer and curator Candace Garlock (cgarlock@tmcc.edu) explains it best:
“The Honeycomb Project: A Metaphor for the interconnectedness, collaboration and strength found within a community.
At first glance, a honeycomb may appear as a simple geometric pattern, but upon closer inspection, one realizes its complexity and precision. The honeycomb is composed of numerous hexagonal cells, each working in harmony to create a unified whole. Each cell has a specific purpose and function, whether it is storing honey, housing the queen bee, or nurturing the brood. Similarly, within a community, individuals come together with unique talents, skills, and roles, contributing to the overall well-being and growth of the collective. This metaphor highlights the idea of interconnectedness through relationships, shared experiences, and shared goals, thus creating a strong foundation for collective growth and resilience. The Honeycomb Project will reflect on how we are connected to one another through environment and place.”
