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.
Jivamukti Mat Nest, by avalove
materials: recycled jivamukti yoga school mats, imaginary peacock feathers
the concept is making a nest of the footprints of many students and masters who have stepped into sun salutation and downward dog on the backs of these yoga mats, and as these mats, teachings, and intentions have carried so many students to surf the waves of yogic union, so will this nest to it’s owner. the imaginary thousand eyes of peacocks are there to witness, and call on these birds of inspiration. this nest comes with our without feathers, upon the owners request.
it is out of doing our practice, sadhana, we become home.
