"Hollingsworth uses nests to concretize light, reflecting and refracting it in objects that appear to be electrically charged. They are the product of a circular kind of alchemy, whereby a solid (wood) becomes liquid (molten glass) and then solid again: the spiky objects we see here. Just as Patrick Dougherty turns tree branches into sculptures that read as architecture, Hollingsworth’s nests allow us to see avian architecture in a whole new light - literally"
