I’ve been working with paper so much lately. It was delightful to touch these juicy flowers for a change. A special piece with a little nest for R.L.
MATTER + FLOWER { NEST | BIRD THREE }
MATTER + FLOWER { NEST | BIRD TWO }
MATTER + FLOWER { NEST | ORIOLE }
These little arrangements are done in an oriole’s nest.
It was built around a Poplar branch, attached by threads and string. Oriole nests are like sacs that hang down off of trees. This one is composed of the most ingenious materials: dental floss, fishing line, twine, yarn, bits of plant material and plastic, woven into something remarkably strong and flexible.
Next time I cut my hair, I’m going to leave the clippings out for the the orioles.
