Backyard Bash: Conference of the Birds
Evoking the organic teardrop shape and cozy environs of weaverbird nests and honoring the use of local materials and handmade construction techniques of traditional Indigenous architecture, Gore invites visitors into a comforting and nurturing space built from locally sourced and scavenged materials. Gore describes her design as “a statement on sustainability and how we as Americans import so much of our building materials.”
