About The Nest Project

I am interested in the ways that humans understand and misunderstand natural systems. I have been exploring this relationship by replicating bird's nests and installing them in outdoor locations. These nests inhabit two worlds. They begin their life in the studio or gallery as art objects and later they are placed in outdoor locations to assume the function of real nests. Here, they are subject to changes in purpose and meaning depending on the reactions of the birds whom they are offered to and other elements in the environment. This blog spot documents the lifecycle or each nest, providing information on its indoor and outdoor life.

Maps to the outdoor nests.


Here are some maps to the outdoor nests. Some might be hard to see so I have tied green ribbons to the trees so that you can locate them more easily. The Chipping sparrow nest is not attached to a tree, but placed in a bush. Happy nest hunting!
