important pollinator, the ultimate synergist, an architect, spatial

civilizations throughout

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Fisher’s
reverence for the honeybee is unparalleled as evidenced by her
astonishing black and white photographs of ultra close-up images of the
anatomy of these magical creatures. The detail revealed is
stunning and surprising. Magnified sometimes up to 5,000
times in a scanning electron microscope, the patterns she discovers are
otherworldly, more like landscapes than miniatures. Hair and pollen look
like forests of trees and boulders through Fisher’s lens – the bee’s
abdomen resembles rolling foothills after a forest fire. The
fact that the compound eye of the bee is made up of hexagons mirroring
the hexagonal structure of their honeycombs expands our thinking about
the natural world. Our sense of scale is confused and
connections of micro and macro are made
tangible.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><O:P></O:P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Fisher’s focus
is sharp and her images are clean. The richness of her grey
scale, her deep blacks and contrasting whites, subtle warm tones and
gentle light, would please any classic photography
connoisseur. There are no extraneous elements in these
photographs and they function like powerful abstractions at this
scale. But, that they are images of bees is
essential – there is a message
here.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><O:P></O:P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">One third of
what we humans consume, depends on bee pollination - their plight is
deeply connected to ours. The honeybee population is
shrinking fast, having declined 35% from 2006 – 2009, threatened by
mites, habitat loss, pesticides and the mysterious colony collapse
disorder that has devastated their numbers. These photographs
help us appreciate bees on another -usually unseen - level, through this
artist’s sensitive vision. Gaining a deeper understanding of their
hidden beauty and structure will no doubt point us towards the direction
of conservation. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><O:P></O:P></DIV>
