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.

news, news,

Okay,
The bushtit's nest in Esquimalt has been stolen. I will try to put another one up this week. For the record - it is ILLEGAL to steal any nest, .... even a fake one.

Also - there is a small mistake on the map to the Anna's hummingird nest. Swan Lake Rd. is actually supposed to be Swan Street.

Also, the nest project will be on display next week at the Fifty Fifty art gallery on Douglas Street in Victoria. There will be some outdoor nests installed too =)
