Sorry about your house.

This sculpture was inspired by John Grade, a Seattle based artiest who focuses on large institutions, and his desire to look at how humans and nature interact. The bird house was made from old wood found around the house and fastened by wooden pegs; no nails or screws were used. Grade always returns his work back to nature after he’s done with it and that’s why I felt it was so important to follow that same process; I hope to evoke the same emotions with my own art. Grade never specifically states why it’s so important for him to give the art back, but I like to believe he’s simply trying to demonstrate how the relationship should look between us and nature. Material art should be borrowed, not stolen.
