Looking Up - Debbie Jeske - 2018

Inspiration: Each of my bee mates was encouraged to pause just a bit.... to notice the little things.... to be aware.... to look up. I instructed them: “Please look up where you are. Base your block on what you see. Just tip your head back and look up!”  I asked that all blocks to be done in grayscale and had yet one more little request. When posting on Instagram to include ONE WORD to describe what the block represents to them.
