Overview

Burrow (Collapse) explores bee species and habitat through a variety of works in different mediums. Developing from an interest in the non-human, clay and the natural world, the work examines introduced and indigenous bee species in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Australia. Both have introduced honey bees and indigenous burrowing variants. There are 1,700 native bee or Djilyaro species in Australia, with about 800 of these in WA and 27 endemic species, Ngaro Huruhuru, in Aotearoa.
