Nathan Burr – Bread Bird Houses
29 Aug - 30 Sept : Outdoor Spaces
Memorial Garden, High Street, Old Town, Hastings (site of the former Swan Inn and 1,2,3 Swan Terrace)
Level access
Burr’s intervention among the trees in Hastings Memorial Garden is “a desire to overcome alienation in an ecstatic embracing of nature and community”. The bird houses are literally fabricated from loaves of bread and bread sticks. Bread Birdhouses can be used by the bird population as a home or a food source. The latter choice suggests a Hansel and Gretel like scenario with the birds eating themselves out of house and home. Members of the public who discover Burr’s project are transformed into amateur twitchers and will walk away with a heightened awareness of the local feathered wildlife.
