The Beecups are not conventionally useful, yet their recognizable form challenges the person who encounters them to find a way to relate to them in a personal and unique way. Through their disparate materiality and conspicuous handcrafting they also provoke associations bringing to consciousness our personal history in relation to objects.
To date, the Beecups have been interpreted as decorative objects, flower vases, candle holders, or as containers for jewelry, dice, seeds, sand, hair, sugar and even warm tea. Some less conventional uses range from determining the position of the sun, to more aggressive drives such as fulfilling the need to bite them, melt them or cut them in pieces.
There is no correct use for these objects, they are meant to be ambiguous so that each person can claim through physical or conceptual customizatio.
