At last our new NEST soft sculptures are in the final stages of production. Above you will see these dolls in the window of a local shop, Bluebird Handmade. This series is an exploration of traditions; those that are learned in a particular cultural context and those that are learned in the home. It is about our relationship to our traditions and how this relationship and the traditions themselves can change over time, particularly in the context of migration. This piece is about both the comfort and burden of traditions when we find ourselves in new settings. Nesting is an ongoing process.
You can also see them in our etsy shop and in a few upcoming shows.
