From 1992 to 1997, I lived and worked in an 8 by 10 foot pigeon coop constructed out of a widow’s walk on the roof of an old dilapidated building in Providence, RI. I shared the space with both domestic and street pigeons. A series of assemblages made with materials collected directly from the site and some photo documentation are all that remains of, what I now regard as my first conceptual performative and multimedia project. To this day, I continue to build functioning pigeon coops as sculptural gestures on the landscape, and to include images of birds in my work.

More images & project details coming soon!
