This installation is based on the practice of making feeders for garden birds during the winter months. Although wild birds can endure the weather conditions, there is a belief that they depend on people to survive. Some bird lovers feel responsible and rewarded for being an active part of the bird food chain.

This empathetic gesture may mask a deep desire to control and condition our natural surroundings. Bird feeders are a great way to attract birds to one's garden, perfect for people who enjoy watching birds and listening to their singing. The sculptures in the installation are reminiscent of that garden space. Made from birdseed, they suggest the possibility of taking empathic desire a step further into domestication.
