I'm loosing the stomach for turning dead bees into art - it seems a bit disrespectful, but also very open to misinterpretation. I like the idea though... Another way to represent the idea came to me today - the PolyCam app seems to work well for doing 3d photogrammetry of small objects, e.g. this ornament of mine:
Perhaps I could 3d scan the bees instead? Maybe then 3d print them? It would be cool because I could capture them in-situ with the ground and other things around them. Thinking about "A Month in my Head", I could potentially do some sort of series - e.g. capture every dead thing I see for a day? A week? A month? Capture a dead thing a day for 100 days? The point not being to to 'yuk people out' with dead stuff, but rather to allude to how much death we are surrounded by. I could potentially explore recording different 'deaths' in different media - 3d prints, scans, photos, 2d art, etc etc
