Priscilla Fusco, Nest. Paper wasp nest, rice paper, and porcelain. 37.5 x 24.5 in.
NEST is a small experiment in mixing insect and human spirituality using the common paper wasp nest as the primary material. Assemblages of deconstructed nests are glued to sheets of rice paper. Porcelain forms, inspired by bones and technology design, peek out from pockets and envelopes embedded in the sheets. Priscilla Fusco mixes biological forms and puzzles to create a formalist object that invites speculation. These works map out a meditative space that invites consideration of the needs of living creatures. Natural objects simultaneously inspire reflection and anxiety, and provoke our imagination for newer ways of being.
