Kirsten Cole

Dissect (bee), 2002
entomology pins, pinholes and shadow boxes
dimensions variable

Kirsten Cole's simple diagrammatic drawings of specific insects are rendered by a line of pinholes and entomology pins.

As in nature, the viewer must look closely to comprehend these minute creatures that are not immediately visible. The pins refer to those used by collectors to secure specimens, except here the insect itself is absent.

Cole is a volunteer beekeeper at Wave Hill and has an intimate knowledge of the garden's insect life.
