ELIZABETH BRYANT, SEATTLE
(EXCERPT, 2009)

Bee creates indefinite metaphors, sometimes political, sometimes social, always larger than words, always tuned to his materials. He works with opposition, creating light in darkness, darkness in light, purity in pollution, form out of emptiness.

Bee’s work seems to fall broadly under the category of Post-Minimalism, seeking a simple, honed-down form, often working against a grid or with the idea of multiples, yet allowing the forms to suggest a world outside aesthetics in a free play of referents suggested by shape or site.
