Nesting Ground: Seven to be Found
The nests of Nesting Ground: Seven to be Found are intended to be discovered unexpectedly in a fairy tale setting of trees and greenery. It is an intimate landscape of house and home, of magical abodes in the trees, a symbolic and animated physical presence of birth and renewal.
Although each is a volumetric sculpture in itself, when the seven are sited together they operate against each other to produce an energy-filled space.
The idea of "house" is in our consciousness and is itself a kind of body, rising vertically yet defined by its horizontal linear contours that embrace, and like arms, envelop us. It is here where we rest and dream.
