Art at The Dorchester

Born in the 18th century and still being explored to this day, the landscape genre has brought countless travellers to England to witness its colourful, picturesque riches and the glorious abundance of our natural diversity.

Sophie Coryndon’s wall sculpture transforms the miniature into the monumental in a celebration of nature’s vital plant pollinators. Sophie and her team took fragments of honeycomb and cast them into larger fragments, joining them together to form huge sheets of beeswax. These were used as moulds to cast plaster, which were then gilded and joined together. For a final flourish, the individual cells are filled with resin, tinted to match the honey made from different species of trees found in Hyde Park.
