Title of work Litter Nest
Date of work 2009
Medium Sculpture and performance
Tree branches, twigs, wire and litter
Dimensions 200cmx200cmx300cm
Exhibited Venue Queens Woods, London

I created a giant nest in the dimensions of my body as part of Urban Wildlife event at Queens Woods, Highgate.
The Litter Nest is made from materials found around the woods such as broken branches, plastic bags, discarded packaging, urban birds also use these for making their nests.

First I built up the basic structure of the nest.
Then I asked visitors for materials, their own litter to complete it. Unique contributions were a balloon, a cinema ticket and medicine package.
