'Codeline, Coffee and Cigarettes' is a window installation which considers the implications of the reduction in pollination by Apis melliferaor as it is commonly referred to, “The European Honeybee”. In addition to our food, we are reliant on their assistance to propagate flora used to make: medication, cigarettes and coffee. Subsequently depicted falling around a varroa mite host bee are blooms of Papaver somniferum, Nicotiana tabacum, and Coffea. These three species were also cultivated by Chinese emigres to Australia during the 19thcentury.
