Anthropocene Nest, Margot Lockwood

Driven by the question “What would a bird's nest look like if the main resource a bird has is human trash?,” Lockwood crafted a nest entirely of her own trash, as well as litter she collected along nature walks. Lockwood challenges us to imagine a world where trash is easier to come by than a twig or a blade of grass. As urbanization increases, Lockwood fears “that humanscapes will be more common than landscapes.”
