In Edinburgh's almost-sunshine, on the final day of the exhibition at the Royal Botanic Gardens, we finally went, hauling along our sceptical teenagers. But do you know? They liked it.
Locating the Nest has been a collaborative exhibition involving willow artist
Lizzie Farey, artist and publisher
Hugh Bryden and poet
Tom Pow. It was one of Tom's great ideas, born out of his perambulations around Europe in search of dying villages. As Tom says in the introduction to the beautiful little book that accompanied this exhibition: "I see... that nests too concern themes of home and abandonment".
