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.

Nanaimo Art Gallery show

A showing of the nest project, along with the work of artists Susan Detwiler and Trudi Smith will be opening this Friday the 18th at the Nanaimo Art Gallery. Maps to 4 new outdoor nests will be available at this time and a little later I will post some maps and updates on the blog.
