Event Details

The Infinity Birdhouse was inspired by an infinity mirror box my father built before I was born. It hung in the home office and always sparked a sense of curiosity in me. I grew up with carpenters who nurtured my creativity through projects that we would work on together. I wanted this installation to be an immersive experience where the public could capture that feeling of awe and wonderment. So come on in, take a look around and step into a glimpse of my childhood.
