The Burnside Nest

The Burnside Nest was a temporary outdoor sculpture by Swedish artist Hannes Wingate, installed in Portland, Oregon, United States, in 2014.

"[2] Despite having a land-use permit from the Portland Development Commission, Wingate was stopped four times by local police officers on the day he began creating the sculpture.

According to Willamette Week, the artist spoke with the project's developer and Skylab Architecture about returning the sculpture after the building's construction was complete.

[2] Willamette Week's Richard Speer called the work "a bird's nest on steroids" and compared it to sculptures by British artist Andy Goldsworthy.

And although nobody is likely to mistake it for a High Modernist masterpiece by Constantin Brâncuși or Henry Moore, the sculpture has a crunchy, eco-friendly coziness that could bring out the kid in even the most jaded curmudgeon.
