The Human Nest.

That's what I've been calling this twig construction that Meade has shaped and reshaped for reasons I don't quite understand:



So I was blown away to see this article in the NYT: "Twigitecture: Building Human Nests."

Whoa! Human nests! I invented the human nest! Or Meade did. Or, hey, Meade, you need to make that human nest into a New York Times Human Nest!

Designed and built by Jayson Fann... the nest, which costs $110 a night, is always booked.

From New Age cocoons and backyard playthings of the rich to public installations made from the wood of hurricane-felled trees to contemporary art objects that you can buy along with your Richters and Oldenburgs, human nests are having a bit of a moment....

But it is not just the appeal of the handmade object — twig and daub as a rebuke to glass and steel...

Oh, here it comes. The anti-prefabbishness snobbishness.

Twigs are twee.
