Steve Tobin
Bronze Nest

2021

About the Item

This cast bronze twig NEST with a bright blue patina (with some of the bronze left raw) holds three highly polished bronze eggs. "The bronze NESTS are another phase in my existential transformation series", says Tobin. "Seeing yourself reflecting in the mirror-polished steel egg puts the viewer in the egg in the nest. This implies the question of our own transformations. What is next for us?" Some NESTS are composed of cast bronze twigs, looking as though designed by a very meticulous bird and splashed with Tobin's ever creative patinas. Tobin clarifies: "The richly colored patinas are not meant to mimic nests in nature but are asking the question: what kind of creature made this? what will emerge...?" The dimensions shown are approximate. Please inquire if you need exact measurements before placing your order.
