Astra Papachristodoulou & Rachel Bower

From wax to word, bees become a shared language between Rachel Bower and Astra Papachristodolou across two strikingly different approaches. Moving between hope and unease, Rachel Bower’s pamphlet Bee explores the sweetness and sting of human relationships with the rest of the natural world. Astra Papachristodoulou’s Selected Variations for Bees was originally conceived as a sculptural artist’s book, with pages encased in burnt beeswax, and responds to the ecological threat posed to bees. Together, they offer a meditation on fragility, wonder, and survival.
