A combination of an old theme with a new one. Beehives have put in an appearance in my work since I saw a particularly handsome one in a clearing at one of my favourite haunts, St Loys Cove, some years ago. I think its a throw-back to my architectural days. They are a beautifully functional kind of baby architecture constructed as a home and factory for bees. The introduction of rooks to the scene shows a much more recent interest, or perhaps I should say, an interest which is becoming an obsession, with birds and with rooks in particular.
