The Nest, 1995

Mixed media assemblage, 9.75 x 12 x 4.625 inches. Collection of the artist.

My first foray into object making as an end in itself. The box is covered with wasp paper and includes a wasp nest, bees, bee’s wax, tiles from the remains of the swimming pool at the Treadwell Mine in Douglas, Alaska and a vintage wedding cake decoration.
