"Nesting Place" at Tacoma Contemporary


















Nesting Place
Where: Tacoma Contemporary, in the windows of the historic Woolworth building in downtown Tacoma (WA) - at the intersection of Commerce and 11th streets.
When: Nov 17, 2008 - Feb 14, 2009

Nesting Place is inspired by nest of the paper wasp. In the Pacific Northwest, paper wasps have annual colonies that are often found under the eaves of human-made structures. Over-winter a colony can rapidly decline and leave the nests empty and lifeless, but again, in the spring, the wasps return to the same spot to build their new nest adjacent to the old ones - holding on to the solace of things past while constructing a hope for the future.

Built entirely from hand-sculpted papers set in dynamic relation to one another, the installation was designed specifically for the eaves and walls of the gallery space.

Dimensions of Installation: 25' x 15' x 15"
Dimensions of Image Above (Detail): 3' x 3' x 5"
Medium: Monotypes, insect collection pins
