About the Artwork:
“A STRUCTURE stars the fabled Bowerbird. The male song bird can spend up to a year collecting twigs, berries and small objects in order to build beautiful and elaborate nests, all in the hopes of attracting a mate. In this piece, the Bowerbird has created an elaborate offering for his potential mate within an abandoned building.” – Gigi Chen
