Artist statement: "This sculpture is from a larger 31 sculpture installation "Colonization of Commonality." It is one of the seven sculptures through which audio testimonials and a sound art piece played regarding a shared human belief of emotion. The following is a brief concept description of the entire 31 piece installation: Honeybees, if given a synthetic circular grid (a super form) with which to more easily begin a hive, will still construct their familiar hexagon shape within the circle. Colonization of Commonality applies this idea, in the spirit of bio mimicry, to how humans form social identities and belief systems based on interpretation of larger ideals and shared experiences within a larger societal definition. The installation is accompanied by sound art composed entirely from audio samples made from activating the sculptures themselves as well as recordings of people volunteering their own interpretations and definitions of shared emotions such as love, hate, fear, redemption, isolation, and success. We all make our own hexagons within a synthetic super form; humans colonize their ideals and experiences within common themes."
