NEST

I was asked by the Penland Craft School in North Carolina to make a site-specific performance. I decided to build a nest in an historic log cabin, out of materials I found outside, and some gathered from the different craft studios (pottery, textiles, metalwork, etc.) I worked on the nest consistently for one whole day, about 14 hours. The performance is inspired by a quote in Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of Space: "Man can do anything but build a bird's nest."
