Exhibition: The Nature of Nests
Over a period of six weeks young people from Amble Youth Group explored the theme of nests. It is a universal theme, which lends itself to ideas about home and a sense of place. The nests project is part of the Bord Waalk Sculpture trail community engagement programme.
