Ava Roth is a contemporary Canadian artist based in Toronto, Ontario. Her work ranges from encaustic painting to embroidery to weaving, often combining multiple artistic media into a single piece of art. Her "Honeycomb Collection" series combines framed embroidery and other natural and man-made objects, with natural honeycomb. To create this ongoing series, Roth places objects and art-pieces into beehives located throughout southern Ontario. In the hives, the bees construct honeycomb around them. The artworks produced are thus the result of interspecies collaboration. According to Roth, her work is "fundamentally about exploring the relationship between humans and the natural environment."
