a place that is comfortable and calm. This echoes the feelings that we associate with a library as a place of quiet security that allows us to be at ease while we focus on our studies. Viewers are invited to further explore the piece from each level of the atrium space, allowing the work to be seen at unique angles from each location.

The sculpture, Nest consists of 4 ovoid forms suspended within the IUPUI Library's atrium space. This piece was inspired by the egg-shaped nests created by multiple species of Ploceidae birds. Their nests are built close to one another to ensure the protection and well-being of the colony. Visually, this work creates a refuge of sorts
