This sculpture was made to create habitat and awareness for the endangered Giant Bumblebee (Bombus dahlbomii), known colloquially as Moscardón or “flying mouse”. This is the only native bee in Chile and is threatened by the introduction of European bee species and the degradation of its native habitat. Giant bumblebees forage for their nests and are known to make homes in old rodent tunnels or bird houses. I hope the bees will make a home in the two spheres on the top and the bowl is meant to hold water. The body of the sculpture was inspired by tree roots and the porous volcanic rocks that are common throughout Araucania, and act as a trellis for the climbing Voquis. There are small volcanic rocks pressed into the clay that were foraged from Cráter de Navidad, Malalcahuello. The sculpture is installed in the garden of La Pajarera among native plants including Maqui, Pilpil Voqui, Voqui blanco, Murta, Chilean strawberry, Chupalla, Orange-fruited bed straw, Little hard fern, and Ampe. I hope this piece will act as a literal home for Moscardónes as well as a shrine and reminder for the Giant bumblebees and the many other beings that have been threatened and left behind.
