"Sarah Hatton was born in the UK, and raised in Barbados and Canada. She received her BFA from Queen’s University and her MFA from the University of Calgary, and is the recipient of numerous awards for art and academics. Her deep interest in human nature, mortality, patterns, and her insatiable curiosity about the natural world are found throughout her paintings and installation work. Her “Bee Works”, made from thousands of dead honeybees, received international acclaim, balancing artistry with advocacy, and winning the RBC Emerging Artist Award in 2014. Hatton lives and works in Chelsea, Quebec, one of Canada’s most creative and environmentally-friendly communities." About her Bee Works: "The link between neonicotinoid pesticides and the worldwide decline of bee populations is a crisis that cannot be ignored. I have arranged thousands of dead honeybees in mathematical patterns symbolically linked to monoculture crops, such as the Fibonacci spiral found in the seed head of the sunflower. The viewer experiences the vertigo of this lifeless swarm, a dizzying optical illusion that echoes the bees’ loss of ability to navigate due to the toxins locked within the very source of their sustenance." http://sarahhattonartist.com/bees/ undefined
