ART and BEES seen at the Fog Fair in San Francisco yesterday. Time-based measurements combined with the artist’s singular observations capture a vast spectrum of optical sensitivities. Patiently following natural courses of movement over a period of time, Finch produces an art form embedded with a profound spirit of place, conjuring a philosophical consciousness rooted in the intimacy between the artist and his subject. In Following a Bee (Zinnias), Finch patiently observes and records the unpredictable, sinuous pattern of a bee migrating between flowers. Before crafting the work on paper, the artist designed and planted a garden from seeds specifically meant for the creation of the series. Finch describes the garden as his own “laboratory for making art.” 📷 Have you tried our Bay Area Bee Co pollen? Not only is it a super food, it is gorgeous! Although predominantly yellow, the colors can be just as the zinnias portrayed in the paintings. Available in select Bay Area stores. @ San Francisco, California
