"NEST"
Mixed Media Sculptures
NEST (detail)
We hear a great deal about how we, as humans, are destroying the planet, rendering the extinction of various species. And, while our politicians argue as to the viability of global warming we try to remember to recycle our refuse. But is it naive not to acknowledge that our weather is different, storms are raging and climates are changing, and as a result many of the inhabitants of this earth are being forced to establish new patterns.
We need to protect our trees; I am worried about the birds.
Since we are to blame for some of this natural havoc, I created nests for our feathered friends. There is a combination of both manmade and natural materials incorporating wooden objects that were once used in machinery before the advent of metals. I then placed these nests under a protective covering to remind you that they are both vulnerable and precious.www.pamader-art.com
Please join us to meet the artist, Pam and Joseph, on Aprill 11 & 18th. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11:30-6:00 PM.
