Description

Softcover

Conversatiolooks at the astounding practice of leading photographer Anne Noble, set against the issues of ecosystem collapse and climate change and examining what an artist can do in response. Its creative focus is on that most important insect, the European bee. Reminiscent of an artist book in its extensive visual content, its appeal is to a wide readership curious about art, ecology, science, literature, and their intersections. Through Nobles art and newly commissioned essays, the book traverses Nobles deep interest in how humans relate to bees. From images of communities of bees to tintype photographs showing the beauty of translucent bee wings, photograms from the wings of dead bees and a black and white series of electron microscope images, Nobles photographs present the hive life of bees in rich detail. Like the finest honey this book is a treasure.Read less
