The Nest

Donald Lipski

This large nest communicates ideas of nurture, growth, discovery, and inclusivity at the Seton Recreation Facility.

About this work

Located in the central hub of the facility, a nest made of clear acrylic 'twigs' interlaced together suspends from the ceiling. Each hallway features a different flock of life-sized birds flying towards the nest. There are a total of thirty birds comprised of three different species. Community members selected the Swainson's Hawk, Great Blue Heron, and Great Horned Owl, birds familiar and loved by the Seton community.
