NESTS at Mercury 20 Gallery
My oversized nests are made of discarded materials, such as old bicycle tires or shredded sheet music, that mimic the diversity of nests found in the wild. These nests highlight the ingenuity of birds and other nest builders and inspire viewers to reflect on the materials and practices of our built environments. Nest builders and I share the common practice of collecting and acquiring materials to reassemble in unmapped locations. Viewers are invited to consider the parallels between the shelters created by animals and our own human habitats.
