It's what you could call a bee-autiful exhibition. Remarkables Park’s Te Atamira this week opened its newest exhibition, ‘Let the Honey Soak Through’, a collaboration between Otago-born artists Taarn Scott and Hana Pere Aoaki (Ngāti Hinerangi, Ngāti Mahuta, Tainui/Waikato, Ngāti Waewae, Tauranga), designed to champion our native bees. Inspired by bee networks and their relationship with the environment, the exhibition examines the patterns bees create to sustain their lives, replicated by human systems, hiveware, keepers and agricultural formations. Much of the work within the exhibition utilises blue tones — the colour which most attracts honeybees — including Te Atamira’s gallery space. ‘Let the Honey Soak Through’ runs till April 27.tracey.roxburgh@scene.co.nz
