Curiouser....Curiouser :Nature Encounter

By  Danny Manning 2018
A series of site specific sculptures/structures made from foraged woven materials placed in Friston Forest East Sussex April 2018. This is an on going series exploring the strange/curious world of burrows/holes/nests and dens created by animals, birds and insects. As a keen walker I am often struck how nature can shock as I catch sight of something I cannot explain - a temporary nest made by swarming bees, a dead pheasant and a shivering rabbit- in the cold. Aspects of nature - life and death unfolding in front of my eyes.
