Name: Julia LaBay
Statement: The Nest Riverbox was inspired by cliff swallow nests. Julia Bay was drawn to the unusual shape of these nests, the way in which they’re constructed, and the fact that the birds were once a rarity in the region. While the artwork captures the element of nature, it also relates to domestic life. She states, “I think of the nest as a home; a place of protection from the outside world.”
