Nest explored feelings of home and belonging, whilst connecting communities with the natural world around them. The project culminated around three communal events of constructing large human size nests using foraged natural materials.
The collective act of building shelter together opens questions of home, belonging, refuge, protection, friendship and climate change. At a time of ecological crisis, the work reflects on our interdependence and on the simple but profound recognition that the challenges we face cannot be met alone.
Nest was co-commissioned by We Live Here and Lancaster Arts.
