bower houses

Bower Houses takes it's name from the indomitable Bower Bird, who collects treasured objects from their environment and painstakingly arranges them in front of their homes to attract a mate. Similarly, the Bower Houses are made from objects collected from the residue of living. At first these objects seem like refuse, a ball of dryer lint, an eggshell, animal bones left over from a meal; but arranged in a certain way they begin to recall ideas of home, showing that the drive to make a home is innate and resolute, even if the only materials at hand are refuse and trash.
