Passing by this particular tree on my daily walk with Harper, my Schnauzer / Terrier mix, I often dreamed of curling up in the middle feeling protected from all that could harm me. It looked to me like the beginnings of a basket weaving project or cupped hands ready to surround and protect me. I thought about these feelings when it came time to do my land art installation. With a theme like “Finding the Feminine” my “Urban Nesting” installation seemed perfect. This is what my urban nest, which most consider very feminine, looks like.
