the nesting project
a group installation
Jivamukti Cafe at the Jivamukti Yoga School
841 Broadway, 2nd floor
December 2009, deadline extended January 15 2010
Inspired by the teachings of David Life and Sharon Gannon, we come together as a community to enrich the creative culture by yoking it with the force of spiritual activism to make a difference in the lives of others.
Artists explore this concept by creating nests similar to the way birds gather objects to build a home. The nests will be on silent auction until January 14, 2010 to raise funds to build actual homes for those animals and humans displaced.
All proceeds will go to HABITAT FOR HUMANITY in Sri Lanka, to aid families without homes still from the Tsunami in 2004, and those living in relief camps in the wake of the Sri Lankan civil war and the NY Audubon, a grassroots community interested in the preservation of wild birds and their habitats in the five boroughs of Manhattan.

Hair Nest, by Amy Brueck
Faux hair and copper wire
A student fashion design Amy was inspired by an Icelandic artist who sculpts with hair. Amy views hair as personal and sees how we choose to style our hair as similar to the way birds build nests—creating the initial look, maintaining it and then overtime how it denigrates, hair falls out and fades to gray much like old nests that are left behind once eggs are hatched.
