Summary:
Wasps are revered for being thrifty, productive, purposeful, methodical, orderly, organized, group workers, and have steady perseverance. These are qualities that I admire but after having a near-death experience with them, I have come to fear them. This project allowed me to embrace their qualities through bookmaking and create a work of art that honors them.
