Nest Series
Most animals that lay eggs or raise their young construct nests. These structures can be simple or awesomely complex. I began this series when I felt without a real home, and longed for belonging within a safe space. I am continuously inspired by the ways in which we, and other animals construct dwellings which provide security, comfort, and proximity to what we need to thrive.
