"Soft eggs" by Jessy Rahman were propped in the branches of a tree. Beyond this a bright green piece of material seemed to grow out of the end of a thin branch and beyond that we had written a text on a piece of wallpaper on the wall of the shed. It read "I like my birdhouses with elaborations". To the right of the ladder two birdhouse shapes had been cut out of floral wallpaper and hung above two metal brackets. The text was intended as a humourous reference to Christophe's new gallery with its birdhouse-like tower as well as a contribution to our theme of 'odd bird' references in our forest installation. |

The third shower contained numerious bird-form interventions made by Jacqueline in ink, chalk combined with the found objects from around the area.They were fossil-like "relics", or remainders. |

In the fourth shower Jacqueline had lifted up the wooden floor and placed a drawing she made of a bird in a cage into the pit underneath. |
