and found wood.&nbsp; For a few years, I watched Nannotrigona bees build their home inside a bouquet of artificial hydrangeas that my mom kept as decoration on her house patio. After the bees left, I took the remnants of their home to my own house and made different arrangements. Meanwhile, the beehive itself dehydrated and shrank until things culminated in this final composition. https://juanabravo.com/cctbee Mon, 07 Oct 2024 22:52:49 +0000 juana maria bravo https://juanabravo.com/cctbee ︎︎︎home eng / esp projectsgood and bad news if you visit me cctbee the problem with absolutes diablo fuerte a mountain talks about time palmos two garden rocks read a creation myth palm trees, crosses and antennas stone (ii) vieras mies tuli taloon sticks and stones (i) dimensionless garden otpfive fishes that could be 10x3 ridding material <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e0f12151cb293b3a71c3447e0344db6f4f79c49634ae14c7c32332421ba29ec/juana-maria-bravo-cctbee-6.JPG" data-mid="219347070" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e0f12151cb293b3a71c3447e0344db6f4f79c49634ae14c7c32332421ba29ec/juana-maria-bravo-cctbee-6.JPG" /><img width="3456" height="2304" width_o="3456" height_o="2304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/92b9d3cec32b6f7cae563d82c6ead653b166446b346a0bfd7df0c5337159a868/juana-bravo-cctbee-4.JPG" data-mid="219347072" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/92b9d3cec32b6f7cae563d82c6ead653b166446b346a0bfd7df0c5337159a868/juana-bravo-cctbee-4.JPG" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ca0bd6ffb983509f332a1e46ae4c942ae7c7442e3566917d2e98577c95759c5/juana-bravo-cctbee-5.JPG" data-mid="219347071" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5ca0bd6ffb983509f332a1e46ae4c942ae7c7442e3566917d2e98577c95759c5/juana-bravo-cctbee-5.JPG" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/35903b59c90b51d136ec83d82005c9ac2dca869ab2186946c3612f913d95a555/uana-maria-bravo-cctbee-virreina2.JPG" data-mid="219346772" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/35903b59c90b51d136ec83d82005c9ac2dca869ab2186946c3612f913d95a555/uana-maria-bravo-cctbee-virreina2.JPG" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/30c8eec68c657de817f309d3f84a832217433c67c36477c65448b3c94d537803/juana-maria-bravo-cctbee-virreina.JPG" data-mid="219347069" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/30c8eec68c657de817f309d3f84a832217433c67c36477c65448b3c94d537803/juana-maria-bravo-cctbee-virreina.JPG" /> cctbee (i) 2024Beewax sculptures Dimensions variable&nbsp;Made during a residency at &nbsp;Virreina, cctbee notes on the gesture of looking up or looking behind your back for danger, real or perceived. https://juanabravo.com/The-problem-with-absolutes Sun, 05 Mar 2023 01:03:20 +0000 juana maria bravo https://juanabravo.com/The-problem-with-absolutes ︎︎︎home eng / esp projectsgood and bad news if you visit me cctbee the problem with absolutes diablo fuerte a mountain talks about time palmos two garden rocks read a creation myth palm trees, crosses and antennas stone (ii) vieras mies tuli taloon sticks and stones (i) dimensionless garden otpfive fishes that could be 10x3 ridding material <img width="5378" height="3586" width_o="5378" height_o="3586" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b76fd4f22e8ffd1bba62f1ced958a4917194ba8600650a0d1f97800799850e50/juana-maria-bravo-careful-careless-baby.jpg" data-mid="170548835" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b76fd4f22e8ffd1bba62f1ced958a4917194ba8600650a0d1f97800799850e50/juana-maria-bravo-careful-careless-baby.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/10f029d8388cf5ef3ded2db0241e476cec86a7cae0a7af7664c38e895edaf336/juana-maria-bravo-careful-careless-baby2.jpg" data-mid="170548836" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/10f029d8388cf5ef3ded2db0241e476cec86a7cae0a7af7664c38e895edaf336/juana-maria-bravo-careful-careless-baby2.jpg" /> <img width="1061" height="406" width_o="1061" height_o="406" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f92273323464e01b002ae56d5722c434bfb194028e85ca5df73d6e465cce81b7/idk.JPG" data-mid="219352925" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f92273323464e01b002ae56d5722c434bfb194028e85ca5df73d6e465cce81b7/idk.JPG" /> The problem with absolutes&nbsp; 2023 Water and sugar sculptures Dimensions variable The femur, known as the the longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the human body, typically takes 4 to 6 months to heal after a fracture.

Although the country expands five time zones, everyone lives their life under Beijing’s. I asked Kexin to write a short description of how it works, and then we translated the text back and forward between English and Mandarin until it was almost wholly abstract. https://juanabravo.com/two-rocks Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:36:49 +0000 juana maria bravo https://juanabravo.com/two-rocks ︎︎︎home eng / esp projects good and bad news if you visit me cctbee the problem with absolutes diablo fuerte a mountain talks about time palmos two garden rocks read a creation myth palm trees, crosses and antennas stone (ii) vieras mies tuli taloon sticks and stones (i) dimensionless garden otpfive fishes that could be 10x3 ridding material <img width="2402" height="1180" width_o="2402" height_o="1180" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fc83b24f6610fb6a9128064fe72578546a65109d7eb30d0fe091c3522d4063b5/juana-maria-bravo-two-garden-rocks-read-creation-myth-process.jpg" data-mid="151739800" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fc83b24f6610fb6a9128064fe72578546a65109d7eb30d0fe091c3522d4063b5/juana-maria-bravo-two-garden-rocks-read-creation-myth-process.jpg" /> <img width="1054" height="750" width_o="1054" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/640cf325226e144fe51e3da52908a00d69d9420aa2b70e9d8a2b6c595e9bb456/juana-maria-bravo-dos-rocas-refs.png" data-mid="151739801" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/640cf325226e144fe51e3da52908a00d69d9420aa2b70e9d8a2b6c595e9bb456/juana-maria-bravo-dos-rocas-refs.png" /> Two Garden Rocks Read a Creation Myth2020 Single-channel video7’12” Many nineteenth-century scientific texts are a transitional space where science, religion, and aesthetics meet to give broad and self-assured sentences about the world. In this video, two rocks read a chapter from James Orton’s 1876 book The Andes and the Amazon called The Creation of the Amazon. The chapter is read word for word with the exclusion of footnotes and cited names for clarity; and with the inclusion of the phrase “an ancestral tree of plenty,” which links Orson’s description of the Amazon basin as a “trunk,” with many Amazonian cultures that refer to the river basin also as a “trunk” or “ancestral tree.” https://juanabravo.com/palmos-eng Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:36:59 +0000 juana maria bravo https://juanabravo.com/palmos-eng ︎︎︎home eng / esp projects good and bad news if you visit me cctbee the problem with absolutes diablo fuerte a mountain talks about time palmos two garden rocks read a creation myth palm trees, crosses and antennas stone (ii) vieras mies tuli taloon sticks and stones (i) dimensionless garden otpfive fishes that could be 10x3 ridding material Palmos2020 Single-channel video6’47” Palmos roams the European tropical garden through a fictional story based on epistolary texts and practical journals written at the end of the 19th century by gardeners, botanical enthusiasts and horticulturists from Porto, Portugal.
