Will Machin, sculptor, in collaboration with Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council, Woonasquatucket Valley Community Build, and YouthBuild Providence, and New Urban Arts, will develop a community-based public art project. Twenty organically-formed, nesting houses for American Kestrels, Screech Owls, and Tree Swallows will be sculpted from discarded objects. The houses will meet specifications provided by the Audubon Society. An exhibition, artist residencies, website, and educational programs to expose the public and youth in environmental issues are scheduled for August, 2005.
Here are photos of various sculptures Will is working on.
