"Nest is a strange work. It’s meant to be like poetry, being poetic. When I was a student I was a sculpture maker, I made things in steel. I loved music also, music was the closest connection to my DNA. I was very curious about sounds and rhythms from across the world, so here I deal with piano keys. People have touched those piano keys. They play all kinds of different music. Classical music, jazz music. Sometimes jazz musicians rip up the classical music and bring it in a different way, create something totally different. The bird, the stuffed falcon I use sometimes. In this case I was fascinated with the falcons and hawks that would fly in my backyard. Often I work in the middle of the night and sometimes I hear weird sounds of birds. Eighty percent of my time I listen to jazz music and respond to it."
