Created at the Visual Arts Center of the Massachusetts Audubon Society by Jane Ingram Allen and assistants. This nest was eventually lined with hundreds of handmade paper feathers created with pulp made from local plants and containing seeds to feed the birds and grow new plants as the paper dissolved into compost and released the seeds.
