Making “Nestful”
Nestful (2021)
Artists Janet Austin and Emily Moorhead-Wallace are with their completed tree habitat sculpture, Nestful, located across from the Farm-in-the-Zoo in Lincoln Park. The sculpture is supported by the Chicago Park District and artist group Chicago Sculpture International in their collaborative venture, the Chicago Tree Project. Reclaimed and scrap material from the artists’ studios as well as donated material make up the artwork’s 190 installed birdhouses.
This piece is part of the Chicago Tree Project commissioned by the Chicago Park District.
