作品名稱：有巢氏
作者：艾婕音（美國籍，現旅居台灣）
媒材：掉落的枯枝與嫩葉、繩與線、手抄紙、鳥的粒餌

創作理念
鳥，在鳥巢裡都在想些什麼？像人一般大小的鳥巢讓人深入其中
一探究竟，體驗鳥的感受與思維，也思考人與大自然的關係。參觀
者與志工將在關渡自然公園內就地取材，以樹皮、落葉等親手製作
食用的粒餌，不僅能提供鳥類充足的養分，也能吸引鳥類親近，讓
身處「巢」中的你近距離觀鳥。
最後，本作品將如同大自然的現象一樣，隨著時間的流逝而分解、
最終回歸大地。這些大自然的現象、變遷與演替，正是我創作過程
中最佳的伴侶，無論是時間、風、雨、動物、鳥、人類…，都會在
我的作品中留下走過的痕跡。

Title of Work: “Nests for Humans”
Materials Used:
Fallen branches and twigs, rope and string, handmade paper pulp, bird seeds
Artist's Statement:
These human-sized nests are for people to enter and rest
there a while to think about man's relationship to nature and the wonder for a
bird’s creation. Visitors and volunteers will make some of the handmade paper
sheets that line the nests. The paper is made from the bark and leaves of plants
found here at Guandu Nature Park. The paper pulp has birdseeds in it to provide nourishment for the birds and also encourage the birds to come closer so that
people can quietly watch them. Like all things in Nature this artwork will dissolve over time going back into the earth. The elements of change and chance and the processes of nature are my partners in making this work. Time, wind, rain, animals, birds and humans will all leave their marks on these nests.
