Nestings – Heather Lindsay

Nestings by Heather Lindsay is a collection of abandoned bird nests and poems inspired by them, displayed to highlight the architectural wonder knitted into these intricate woven structures. Poem and nest combine to invite consideration of how fragments; letters, words or grasses and garden debris, assemble to make a new whole.
