The Magpie Nest Project Opening Night

“Magpie Nest” concept came after discovering a nest during a walk and trying to understand bird’s craftsmanship and consequently mindset.
From the last 100 years, nests have evolved from organic natural home-sweet-homes to mini rubbish recycling centres.

Magpie Nest Project talks about human behavior.
It is equally a reflection on post-Covid changes about impulse buying, fast consumption and “cheap-quick-nasty” VS recycling, upcycling, downcycling and long lasting quality.
It can be applied to fashion, Beatrice Carlson background or pieces and artworks as in her interdisciplinary practice.

All Carlson’s material comes from the last 30 years of her collecting fabric, stones, metal, all sorts of things…
Time to transform all her hoarding into a nest…a Magpie Nest Project.

The exhibition presents jewellery, artworks and wall objects
