Astro Bee

Astro Bee by kyle parker cunningham

The intersection of space exploration and the natural world. An astronaut's helmet becomes a hive, bees navigating the cosmos within the human desire to explore beyond our atmosphere.

Black and white intaglio print of an astronaut's upper body and helmet, with dozens of small bees swarming inside the round visor, rendered in fine etched lines with gray plate tone on cream paper.

Alternate exposure of the Astro Bee intaglio print, showing slightly different tonal contrast in the plate tone while depicting the same astronaut helmet filled with swarming bees.
