Wind-Up Bird Door

Collage of National Geographic pages after the cover of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. I coated it with a glossy decoupage medium, hence the glare. Enlarge to see it better.

Bird House

For my public art class I think I want to make a bird that you can go inside of. I'll make a steel frame with room for sandbags at the bottom so it probably won't get stolen, and a fabric cover on the outside, or maybe a fabric-epoxy composite to make it waterproof. The inside will be covered with very soft pillowy fabric sculpture for sitting or sleeping, with secret pictures and objects embedded like jewels in the walls. For one or two people. You have to lift up the wing to get inside.
