Bee Mosaic II
Lino cut,
In this original handmade lino cut print, Rebecca has emulated the style of leaded coloured glass to create a vibrant image of a bee on a flower head. This piece echoes the religious iconography associated with stained glass in churches: the bee appears almost as an angel or heavenly being - perhaps suggesting that the bee's vital environmental service of pollination is at least as worthy of veneration and worship as any theological deity. The artwork is constructed using one linocut to represent the 'lead', with other lino pieces arranged as the 'glass' to complete the image.
