An outdoor site-specific installation for the Bi-Annual Outdoor Sculpture Invitational Artists in Dialogue with Landscape for the Adkins Arboretum, Ridgely, MD (Eastern Shores), USA. Children were given a map to mark where they “discovered” the hidden nests in trees, and were then rewarded with a surprise toy at the Visitor’s Center.
The Curators and Artists were interviewed during a walking tour of the exhibition by Michael Buckley, Producer, Writer and Radio Host of Voices of the Chesapeake Bay, for The Sunday Brunch, 103.1 WRNR FM Annapolis/Baltimore/Washington DC, USA. The interview was broadcast on Sunday, July 6, 2008, at 10 a.m.
Nesting Ground: Seven to be Found was one of the works by ten national sculptors on exhibit in the 2010 Village Green’s Sculpture on the Green Bi-Annual Invitational Exhibition in Cashiers, NC, USA, Curated by Wesley Wofford. Nesting Ground represented site-specific sculpture.
As the nests were exhibited in the state of Maryland, the Committee of The Art of Caring requested that one nest be donated to The Art of Caring: An Art Acquisition Event and Silent Auction to Benefit the Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children’s Center, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA, April, 2013.
