Sinopsis

Of the ten million or so different species of insects on our planet, none is more fascinating than the honeybee. Magnified hundreds to thousands of times with a high resolution scanning electron microscope, honeybees become architectural masterpieces an elegant fusion of form and function. Now available in paperback, Bee presents sixty astonishing photographs of honeybee anatomy in magnifications ranging from 10x to 5000x. Rendered in stunning detail, these photographs uncover the strange beauty of the honeybee's pattern, form, and structure. Comprising 6,900 hexagonal lenses, their eyes resemble the structure of a honeycomb. The bee's six-legged exoskeleton is fuzzy with hairs that build up a static charge as it flies in order to electrically attract pollen. Wings clasp together with tiny hooks, and a double-edged stinger resembles a serrated hypodermic needle. These visual discoveries, made otherworldly through photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher's lens, expand the boundaries of our thinking about the natural world and stimulate our imaginations.

Acerca del autor

Rose-Lynn Fisher is an artist working in photography and mixed-media. Her work deals with parallel elements or realities meeting at a threshold. This can be a structural threshold or a conceptual one. To Rose, it's all about juxtaposition in one way or another: finding abstraction in concrete reality, the interface of science and art, light emerging from darkness, patterns and boundlessness in space and time, ironic situations, people on the verge of transition, the experience of ‘other’ here. Her education includes a blend of university, art school, computer programming school, computer graphics school and independent pursuit. Her work reflects a diversity of themes, metaphors and curiosity, about life, travel, people and traditions of different cultures, throughout the U.S., Morocco, Israel, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, England, Ireland, Scotland, Costa Rica.
