On Nature (Ousia (οὐσία) Song of Apology to The Bees), 2015
Birch plywood, transparent plexiglass, white paint, honey, electric guitar strings, microphone pick-ups, and amplifier.
24 x 24 x 72 inches
I composed this musical performance as an apology to the bees for their poisoning by pesticides and their overworking. I bit and licked the electric guitar strings to play an original melody I composed for the amount of time it took for a cup of honey to roll down the side of the sculpture once I pushed it off the top until it trickled onto the top of my left foot at the bottom of the sculpture.
