What does \u2018home\u2019 mean? How do we \u2018nest\u2019 and what happens when our ability to nest is compromised?<\/p>\n

In January 2016, environmental artist Jill Parsons will be exploring these questions, working with those in temporary or impermanent accommodation, travellers and the homeless. Together they will create a forest of fragile ceramic nests downstairs at the ONCA Gallery. Each nest will be made by a participant, and as they work, they will share their story to create a soundtrack weaving together tales of home; homes lost, homes loved and homes created from nothing.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in the main space, artist and activist Ellen Mulcrone will be working primarily with willow and found objects from around Brighton, weaving together a human-sized nest-like space for people to enter and contemplate the concept of home, and what that means for them. Displayed within will be a variety of people\u2019s stories telling their relationship with home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibit will also feature work from artistsat local charity Just Life, who have attended workshops with Inclusive Artist Layla Hignell-Tully and Arts Researcher Heather McKnight from Magnetic Ideals. These pieces will explore the themes of what home means and what it means to feel out of place.<\/p>\n
