Where the Heart Is

This immersive, interactive installation is the culmination of my and Olivia Prior’s occupancy at the Backfence Society space in Vista, CA. 

Throughout the month, we crafted over 100 birds and fired them in my tiny manual kiln. Only 76 birds survived to be hung in the room, flying around a collection of homey furniture and family heirlooms.

Guests are invited to engage with the installation with a reflective writing activity where they respond to a prompt and place their responses in the swallow's nests.
