Jayson Fann’s Human Nests

human-nest3

California-based artist Jayson Fann designs and creates nests for humans, where one can experience what it feels like to sleep like a bird. Made from tree branches harvested from local forests, the Spirit Nests are available for purchase from Big Sur Spirit Garden, an international arts and culture center in the Big Sur valley.

The best branches come from the top of the trees, since they are mature and strong. Their spiraling shapes are helpful as well. After the leaves are removed, the branches are transferred to a safe location with minimal risk of fire.

The branches are sorted according to size, then Jayson assembles them like pieces of a puzzle to create a spiraling pattern designed for structural integrity and the flowing aesthetic.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
