This is the nest abstracted. What is the nest? It is lovely by its very concept. It protects and offers sanctuary. It does not need to conform to other species nests but it does have to be structurally sound and secure. Each bird type makes a nest to suit its purpose but the specifics of how this is achieved is individual and unique. The nest loved and well established is a place wherein the structure of other nests can be explored and celebrated.
It is important to value your own space along with others. Nests have need to be different according to the geography and culture and elements available and inhabited.
In doing this nest series I have discovered a fabulous array of nest photos and nature based sculptures based on nests. It has also keenly focused awareness of my street, my neighbourhood, my city, my island, my country...and the extensions...
