Bee Lane (A Bees Eyeview of a Wildflower Meadow) is a public art commission that reimagines a laneway in Roscommon town as a dreamlike journey through a wildflower meadow — as seen from the unique perspective of a bee. The installation features a series of large-scale, digitally created prints mounted on durable aluminium panels. These artworks depict flowers and insects in surreal, luminous colours that mimic the spectrum bees are able to see, revealing an unseen world of patterns and contrasts that are invisible to the human eye. By translating this alternate visual experience into a vibrant and playful visual language, the project invites pedestrians to enter a magical space alive with motion, colour, and imagination. Designed to delight and intrigue people of all ages, the work celebrates the essential role of pollinators in Ireland’s ecosystem while encouraging a moment of wonder and reflection in an everyday urban setting. The installation brings art, nature, and science together in a joyful expression of interconnectedness — turning an ordinary passageway into an immersive celebration of life, light, and transformation.
