Nest Assemblages

Assorted objects - found, acquired, treasured, altered

“I’m a bird trying to build a suitable nest—looking for a tree that hasn’t been cut down yet. So far, I’ve collected many shiny things. I sit with them—arranging and rearranging them—and they speak to me about order and disorder, about God and nature. I’m waiting for my eggs to hatch. ”
