Bob Perkoski Thursday, June 13, 2013

The Reading Nest is a 30-foot by 11-foot public art installation currently on display in the Eastman Reading Garden of the Cleveland Public Library. The design of CIA grad Mark Reigelman, and produced in collaboration with LAND studio, the massive yet elegant "owl's nest" is constructed from repurposed wood. Bob Perkoski documented the construction process from start to finish. 

The piece will be on display through October.
