Hive

2009; Cor-ten steel and paint; 7.5’ H x 9’W x 8’D; Delmar Loop station; St. Louis, MO.  Commissioned by Arts in Transit.

The concept of the beehive and its honeycomb structure is the basis for this work.  As an understood symbol for the collective spirit of the community, the hexagonal geometry of the beehive form transitions into a spiral of growth, ending in an abstracted question mark.
